Bedford CF, Zephyr mk3 or Vauxhall PA, maybe, sometime, eventually...

Hell I'd drive anything right now, even my boss's diesel A4.  That says something!

No you wouldn’t!! Don’t say such things!

 

It’s a bit of a shame you can’t go for this one Eddy.

Interestingly, the white van's price has come down.  Not much, but the right direction at least.  Neither van has any bids...

The price is right at $2.85!  I think there's too much work in that one...

if you get a CF2 I have two of the unobtainable ball joints (at least that is what they were sold to me as) - can't remember if they are the top or botton but they aren't the same as the CF1, other is CF1 and can be found.

 

The Opel engine was good - but maybe that was because it was low mileage because in a camper

The black van in That There London has been relisted again.  He doesn't seem to be taking the hint on price though.

Too dear!  Like so many, unfortunately.  I'm certainly not paying that kind of money for an engineless project.

Saying that though: well spotted, thank you.

Blimey the LWB CF is cheap if not terminally rotten, if it was a transit I would shortly be having serious parking issues...

If it was a Transit there'd be another zero on the price!

Yes, I thought the same, but that in itself wouldn't have bothered me.

That looks a world of pain and cash to sort out. Diesel wont be much fun in one of these either.

I hadn't seen it but I agree with Mr Medhurst.  Far too much expensive work involved in that, to leave me with effectively the wrong van given that it's a facelift diesel.  Facelift I don't really want, as in I'd prefer not to; diesel I really don't want, as in I'd walk first.  And anyway it isn't a plain van, it's a camper.

Is it feasible/possible to de-facelift a CF2 back to early 1970s appearance, like people do with nineties Minis and that?

I can imagine it being possible, but it'll be a heck of a lot of welding.  The front wings and bonnet are different and you'd also need the earlier metal grille panels to weld in, as the later plastic just unbolts.  Bumpers and rear lights are also different.  And that's before you do anything to the interior!

Don't forget the door handles!

Thanks Joe!  It slipped off the front page before I spotted it but now I've had a look.  This one is more of a project than I'd like to take on.

However... in perusing that, I've also spotted this one.

This comes up as a 2.0 petrol that ran out of MoT a year ago.  I just wonder what it might need...
