I had a CF when I was playing in bands. It was an ex-gas board 2.3 and I swear it was the fastest van I ever drove. I loved it.
We moved the gas board bulkhead back and fitted an extra row of seats out of a Renault 20. That way we could get all the band's gear in it plus us. Not quite up there with Led Zep's Boeing 707, but we thought it was cool.

I got me a '72 bay.   More pics on my website. I like splittys aswell of course but I prefer to own the bay as I'd be too scared to use (and abuse) a splitty as there worth too much. |

Well, We have a really hot Transit Mk1, and a soon to be hot Morris Minor van rusting away in the shed.
Most of you will by now be aware that inAustralia we had Mk1 Transits with a 3.3 litre inline six and a 3 speed gearbox from the Falcon, but how many of you know that we also had a Bedford CF with a 3.0 or 3.3 litre Holden inline six and 3 speed gearbox to compete with it?

Great to see the blue early model Toyota Hiace there!. I knew a bloke who put a 3.0 litre Holden six and 3 speed auto in one of those. It used to fly, but it overheated, so he fitted an extra radiator on the bullbar out front! Looked real mean!

If my better half would let have a van or vans then it would of course be a Czech one such as a Skoda 1203 or an Avia which the works rally team used.The 1203 looked a bit like a cuter Commer van in various forms from Telecom hack to hearse with a camper thrown in the middle ! The Avia was a copy of a Renault thingy about swb Transit size and again in various shapes and sizes.

;D VAN ! You can decide what to do on the window front at a later date !
The Scrappy in Mlada Boleslav had a few last year for breaking so parts are no problem plus as a genuine anorak i have a parts book for the 1203 just in case Mrs Skudupnorth gives in !
