For sale: Bedford CF 250 Mini-Artic - UK

Take a look at this rare 1985 Bedford CF2 Mini-Artic. It's in excellent condition with only 21,000 miles. You also get the original Lynton trailer. Makes you wonder if these were actually any good at hauling anything with that 2.3L Diesel engine. You can use it as a race car transporter just like Team Best Racing.did.

"This is a 1 owner from new mini artic it has only covered 21 k from new its a opel deisel and starts and runs well. the cab is very tidy and the chassis has been repainted some time ago it has a new mot we have not touched the box other than connecting it on and towing it back to our work shop. this was used to transport news print to Europe in its early life and then stood for many years local to us.

Tribute Custom Bedford CF Truck

Tribute: Charlie Hall, left, with grandson Aden Hall, 5, and son Andrew Hall, re-built this 1978 CF Bedford van as as tribute to a mate who died.

Charlie Hall's custom built Bedford van isn't just his pride and joy, it's also a tribute to a mate who had the same dream but died before it could be realised.
The Blenheim man was at the Marlborough Truck and Trade Show near Blenheim on Sunday to show off the bright yellow 1978 CF Bedford van he spent two years re-building from the chassis up.
''You won't see one like this anywhere ... hell, yeah, I'm proud. Just look at it.''
The former truckie got the idea from a mate who started a similar project but died before he could finish it.
''This is a tribute to my mate.''
The van, cut down to a ute, is powered by a 308 Holden V8 engine and has an aerodynamic roof.
He's still working on the interior, which includes a sleeping space behind the cab.
Asked how much the re-build cost, Mr Hall was coy.
''Mum [my wife] doesn't even know that. We're 27 years together, 26 years married and she's my best mate ... [but] I don't want her to know.''
The van spends most of its time parked outside Arc-Rite Engineering in Blenheim as a thank-you to the firm's owner, who helped with the re-build, Mr Hall said.
Despite everything, the van was still for sale if the price was right, he said.
''Give me a blank cheque and you can drive it away.''
