Bedford CF Camper Van 1976 One Former owner This one former owner classic 1976 Bedford Camper takes you back in time to when Campers really were that one up from sleeping under canvas not a house on wheels. There is something charming about it with its instantly recognised front this was after all only second to the Transit in popularity where vans were concerned. Like the transit they were available in just about everybody style you could imagine but even back then Camper Conversions were rare due to their price and what with the environment attacking the low quality metal that manufacturers used in the seventies from the outside and fluid spills children family pets etc attacking the inside few campers survived. When did you last see one? This very presentable example has less than 9000 miles recorded on the clock and its vendor says he has no reason to not believe this. Having collected it from its owners house himself. The online MOT history shows back to July 2006 when it had recorded 7503 miles so no matter what it has travelled less than 1500 miles in the last 12 years! Recently recommissioned inside and out its interior is very period and as it was built no micro waves here but what was the norm for 1976. Note: ALL APLIANCES MAY OR MAY NOT WORK AND SHOULD BE FULLY TESTED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON PRIOR TO USE. The exterior has been tidied recently and is now very bright and presentable and has the rarer to find fixed high top giving plenty of room to stand inside and helping to give a nice airy feel. The soft cushions seem to be a bit mixed and matched but are in good condition Its 2 liter petrol engine runs very sweetly its gearbox clutch brakes etc are all said to be good. On arrival with him the vendor removed the brakes they were draging from lack of use and in his own words They were like new in there! It now drives very tight like you would expect from a vehicle with so little miles So with a little TLC there is no reason not to be out and about in it soon and enjoying classic motoring in what is now a very rare classic camper.
