ebay: 1981 Bedford CF poptop - UK

This van has been up on ebay UK several times and I'm not sure why the seller hasn't been able to sell it yet. It looks like a great project for someone to restore or just drive it as is in ratrod style. 

"Bedford 1981 Van 2.3 Cf Condition is Used. 10months MOT and TAX

THE following has just been fitted:
- NEW clutch
- new points and condensor
- new fuel pump
Does not go into second gear but just needs an adjustment on the gearbox which is out of sync.There is some rust over the wheel arch and doors, but no leaks and engine is running well.
Has been a good runner and fond of this van but I’m leaving the uk in Jan so I need to sell."

Ebay: 1971 Bedford CF Camper - UK

This Bedford Pop Top Camper is for sale on ebay UK. The seller leaves no information in the description but looking at the photos you can see right away that it needs some serious body restoration. There is actually duct tape covering up rust... it matches the grey paint... The good thing is that the starting bids are very low and it's probably going to be sold for a cheap price. The interior seems to be all there and it also has some steel Weller rims. Makes a good Rat Rod style van or a restoration project if you want to spend a lot of hours with a welder.

Starting price: £0.99

Here's one for those hot-rod fans. Mat black paint, red steel wheels, white walls and zoomies!
This CF230 is one of the last CF1's from 1980 as you can see it already has the new style dash board. The owner got a little creative in the interior using some old denim jeans... The rear has some nice camper style seats/bed conversion and it also seems to have a good audio system. The starting bid is low so this might turn out a good deal for someone.

ebay: Bedforf CF V8 Rat Rod - UK

Where to start on this van? It probably was a nice custom van many years ago but now it's in very rough shape. It has rust, cracked body filler all over the place... It fits the "rat rod" category almost perfectly. It needs a lot of work including rebuilding the engine and interior. If your up to the task the starting bid is only £500.

"Bedford cf 3.5 rover v8 auto
starts drives been stood for 2 years and needs work to put back on the road
needs engine rebuild as noisy at high revs but another block comes with it with fresh looking hone marks, also comes with spare good rear axle and if wanted another one that broke the input shaft but this one has higher ratio and bigger drums that it really needs have 2 front half leather escort gti seats to go with it plus some other bits n bobs if i can find them in garage all the running boards and arches are metal the arches are shaped with filler and need redoing the back well the rear doors have been welded in but far from flush it had a lot! of filler to make the shape but had cracked and when started to sort it ended up taking most of it out and as temp put hardboard over to make shape n this has now gone soft which is why the back looks so bad The paint is not good on any of the van and needs redoing the front bumper is all metal but was damaged when towing see pic
i believe the wheels are from a lotus with 195/70r14 front 255/70r15 rear one front tyre is new the other is ok rears are just legal but need beads sealing as dont hold air this thing is wide 6'6 front about 7' rear with wheels n tyres on it has smaller rears on for transport and storage due to others not holding air and not fitting on trailer the front doors have been cut shorter and bottom welded in the step and have metal welded over windows to give shape not just film tint when done it looks good and draws attention it is also very loud with straight through exhausts and small cherry bombs on each side"

ebay: Bedford CF V8 Recovery/Transporter Truck - UK

You can find plenty of Bedford CF recovery trucks in the UK but here is a unique one you can buy. This one was built specifically to haul around a drag racer so its got a fully covered body. The engine was swapped for a powerful V8 and its all painted in a hot rod matte black color. This is really cool truck to transport your classic car to shows or your race car to the track. 

"This truck was built by a drag racer and mechanic to take his drag cars to events safely and securely as well as doubling up as a mobile workshop, it is a long wheelbase Bedford CF MK1 fitted with a Rover V8 and Auto gearbox.
The Truck comes with Keys and V5 Logbook as well as a long MOT until 25/11/2015. It starts easily and runs well, the brakes and suspension work as they should and it is surprisingly easy to drive, I would happily take it anywhere. That said it is in need of some tlc in the form of some bodywork and a couple of other minor issues which I will detail below.

The Engine and Gearbox
It is fitted with a rover V8 and Auto Gearbox which I am told where removed from one of the previous owners drag racing cars and apparently running somewhere in the region of 250bhp. It is fitted with a Holley Carb and MSD ignition system. It starts easily and runs well, it doesn't smoke knock rattle or overheat, the gearbox also works as it should.

The Brakes, Steering and Suspension
The brakes steering and suspension all work as they should, it doesn't knock and bang or pull etc it is also fitted with a set of extra heavy duty adjustable shock absorbers on the back for if you are carrying extra weight.

The Electrics and Gauges
The truck runs 3 batteries in total (2 of which need replacing) the alternator charges well and it is also fitted with a twin solar charging system, it is also fitted with a Cobra Cat1 alarm and immobiliser system. The lights all work as they should with the exception of the indicators which don't flash, the horn also works fine. the speedo is very optimistic and the rev counter has a mind of its own, the fuel temperature and oil pressure gauges work as they should.

The Body, Cab and Chassis
The Back Body is very well built and pretty clever, as you can see it is fitted with a large double folding ramp that lowers via a winch. which is excellent for loading low cars and also has a door in the centre for access without opening the ramps. It also has 2 fold up work benches, 2 side doors and plenty of tool storage in 2 lockers mounted either side  and a large tray mounted in the centre. please note the winch pictured is not included in the sale but will be offered to the winning bidder at a reasonable price.
The Cab is what lets the truck down, it is in a poor state needing welding/repairs to the floor, gutters, pillars and probably more, that said the wings, steps and bonnet seem pretty good. also the drivers door handle/lock is broken and the passenger mirror is too (but comes with a good replacement)
The Chassis is in good condition and doesn't appear to need any work with the exception of one body mount to the front of the cab.
I think that just about cover's everything, in summary its a big old beast of a thing that I would happily drive anywhere, the cab needs work and a couple of electrical bits need sorting too.
I'm starting the auction at scrap value with no reserve, any questions feel free to ask, best of luck and happy bidding.
Couple of things I forgot to mention, the body is 4.9m long by 2.1m wide, the Lockers/side doors on the back are stiff due to lack of use, the windscreen wipers are rubbish, the radio is crap and it comes with a box containing a few spares."

Ebay: 1986 Bedford CF2 - UK

This CF2 has received a "rat" treatment, matt black paint to cover up some dents and rust spots. A few more details include small chrome mirrors, double side exhaust, removal of the rear bumpers and some rope tied around the front bumper in jeep style. You can't forget to sticker bomb the rear windows.
The owner put in a new engine and the body is still very decent for a full restoration if that's your intention, otherwise you can keep it as a rat rod or go crazy and customize it.

"I've got for sale this bedford cf2, C reg , i've owened the van for 2 years and i'm the second owener, it started as a project so it's got a brand new engine, rebilt at regal engine in essex, i've only done 400 miles with it since.It's got new MOT it comes with loads of new and used extra parts plus an opel manta gt/e injection system that fits the engine, that would've been the next step.
