Starting business as a subsidiary of Vauxhall Motors in 1931, Bedford produced a range of light commercial vehicles, trucks and buses along with military vehicles but, like the parent company, was soon absorbed by General Motors. Introduced in 1969, the CF was a panel van designed to compete with Ford’s popular Transit. It proved to be a huge commercial success, becoming one of the most popular van’s on British roads in the 1970s during the custom craze of the 1970s. Ultimately in production until 1987, the series was facelifted in 1980 (as the CF-1) and again in 1984 (the CF-2).
Once a familiar sight, few survive on New Zealand roads today as they fast become a collector’s item. The white paint example offered here by Webb’s was registered new in New Zealand on 25 July 1974 still bearing today the same number plate as was affixed on that occasion.
The odometer reads 71,000kms.
