ebay: 1985 CF2 diesel panel van

Ending in a few hours on ebay is a 1985 CF panel van with a 2.3 diesel engine.
This is the same van that I posted last November. The new seller was the only bidder at the time and got it for £800. He has been using it daily ever since. He claims it cruises at 55/60 mph and consumes 30mpg. Overall it looks like a great van for daily driving. There are several bids already, it will be interesting to see for how much it sells.

Manometro do combustível - parte 1

Este fim-de-semana resolvi tratar do problema do manometro do combustível que não está a funcionar. Quando fui buscar o van em 2009 o manometro marcava e depois de colocar mais gasoleo no deposito nunca mais funcionou.
Verifiquei os fuzíveis para ter a certeza que não era um fuzível queimado e depois decidi desmontar o deposito porque desconfiava que o problema era da boia.
Não existe nenhuma abertura no chão para verificar a boia por isso é mesmo necessário remover o deposito para aceder a boia. Uns minutos mais tarde o deposito estava cá fora...

ebay: 1982 Red CF Panel Van

Wow, here's another very nice CF that appears on ebay in a short period. This one has some interesting details such as the sliding drivers door and a bulkhead dividing the cargo area.

Finding such an immaculate rust free CF is difficult but there are still some around and this is one of them. The engine is the petrol fueled 2.3 liter and the seller claims this always garaged CF has 84000 original miles and that is easy to believe. 

It's not everyday that a van like this pop's up for sale so get it if you can.

ebay: CF2 PANEL VAN SHOWROOM CONDITION - Part II

It didn't sell last time around and now it's up on ebay again. I'm talking about the most mint Bedford CF panel van you will ever see and you can own it, if you got the money that is...

This show room condition CF2 now has 20,000 miles and the seller writes:

"...it always starts first time everytime and drives superb, and being a 4 speed gearbox will still cruise at 65/70 mph and returns good mpg, last trip i did was 70 miles and was a pleasure..."

The van has new tires, a new stainless exhaust and has MOT and TAX so it's ready to hit the road. 

Back in December the bidding went up to £4,400.00 but the reserve price wasn't met. Now the bidding has started at £2,000.00 with a reserve price also. Lets wait and see what happens.
Check out the new photos the seller has posted. Mint.
