eddyramrod Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Just a thought, but would any of our South Wales members consider nipping over to Port Talbot and having a look for me? danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could even earn its keep for you? Nice little earner on the side using it to cart stuff about! eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 This comes up as a 2.0 petrol that ran out of MoT a year ago. I just wonder what it might need.. Basically a Holden V8 twin turbo... eddyramrod and danthecapriman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Just a thought, but would any of our South Wales members consider nipping over to Port Talbot and having a look for me?I could probably get down there after the weekend, but I'm not the best person to look at vehicles (as evidenced by some of the things I've bought) No doubt I'll miss the big holes in the cab floor, but notice that the interior light doesn't come on. eddyramrod and Lacquer Peel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Somewhere I should still have a little CF - as in really little, like 1/76. It is, guess what, a dropside. I really will have to see if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 That blue pickup finished with no bids. It'll probably be relisted so if someone could go and look it over for me, I would be very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegod Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 This has turned up at my local scrappy, it's utterly minging, sinister as fuck and has a 2.7 diesel taxi engine apparently. Sticker on the step leads me to believe it is ex army, last shot is the inside and it's as nasty as it looks. Banger Kenny and vulgalour 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bezzabsa Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 can't say i've ever seen a LWB CF........apart from the ones on this thread...I think the SWB is better proportioned... remember the CF with a Rover V8 was THE van to have in the Shagadelic 70's... some *gorgeous* vans used to appear in Street Car etc eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we got anyone around Weymouth who could go and look at it for me please? Edit: Bezzabsa, I agree, I like the proportions of the short van better. Long ones used to be everywhere, wearing logos of utility companies. For some reason they tended not to use the short ones, preferring Sherpas.

MorrisItalSLX Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Australia delivers the CF goodness yet again. Properly engined with a Holden 308 and only 10 minutes up the road from me. Doors included.

Jimbob McGregor Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I saw this on Saturday in Frosterley, Weardale and thought of this thread. The owner was getting it out of the garage. Slant-four sounded great. Unfortunately it’s just been sold. I told him that we were admiring his van and he said’ “You’re too late!” He has owned it for 38 years up to now. Apologies for the shite photo taken through my dirty windscreen... eddyramrod and somewhatfoolish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mally Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 My dad had one of those from new, ran it 10 years. Was mine for a while when he died. Autosleeper, very good quality. He also left me a house with a leaky roof. I sold the van to pay for the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Somebody just shared a CF with me on FB, but I've lost the link now. Whoever you were, thank you, it's a lovely van but way over budget and too far away. I can wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Bloody hell, it's over two years since I started this thread! Tonight I've found two CFs on ebay, one of which is ideal: plain white van, 1.8 petrol, pre-facelift. The other is a facelift pickup, which at least is petrol, but needs work. I pretty-much expect that tbh. Don't really know why I'm looking, it's not like I can leap out and buy one! One has to keep an eye on the market, I suppose.

eddyramrod Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think we all knew from the off that this thread was a non-starter. We've seen plenty of CFs, usually on the ebay thread, which are either unsuitable or way out of budget; and to be fair, usually both. I have one thing to say about that: Don't stop tagging me when you find one! Now that I've realised I can't let Huggy go, it's clear I'm just not going to have another CF in the foreseeable future, or even beyond that. But I can still look, it's nice to know they still exist. danthecapriman, Stevebrookman and Cavcraft 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
