1957 Bedford CA Van

This famous Bedford started life in London as a van on 26th February 1957. Nothing is known of its early life, but in the early 1980's it was converted to a minibus. The highlight of the Vans life came in the 1990's when it starred in the movie 'East is East', travelling from Manchester to Bradford in one of the scenes. It then featured in a TANGO advert when it won at Silverstone! On the 30 September 2000 the Bedford was restored and converted back to a Van.

The last owner bought the Van back in 2003 and is a regular customer of ours. Since owning the Bedford, over £3700 has been spent on maintenance and improvement work with a very reputable classic car specialist in Leeds. The Van drives beautifully with its three speed gearbox and 1507cc engine running perfectly. The Van really looks the part with bright paintwork and an excellent body. The interior is very clean and the seats are in excellent order. This has to be one of the best CA spilt screen Vans on the market and will look fantastic at all the coming shows and rallies. This wonderful Commercial also makes the perfect advertising tool and really looks the part.
