In the 70's there was a van show in Perth which was covered in Custom Vans & Trucks, in the show was a un-finished CF Bedford that was painted in HEAVY gold metal flake and had heaps of murals all over it. Now I didn't have a photo of this van so I wondered how to get one(Craig doesn't have a pic either) So I looked at the magazine and found out that the W.A. contributor was Vince Berriman, now I know him through Hot Rodding circles so I gave him a call and explaind what I was after and he said that he only has some black and white negatives. I asked to borrow the negative so that I could get a reprint done, he wanted to know Why? I said that its all about the history of vanning in Perth now he seemed happy about this and asked if I would look after them real well, of course I said. Well blow me down a week later a parcel arrives and inside is a stack of negatives(about 150 photos)So I'm now the custodian of the negatives and I have droped them off to get printed which will take 2 weeks to do and you don't want to know how much they are going to charge. Once they are done I'll scan them and e-mail them to Craig (that will block up his computer for a while) and hopefully he will put them up here Regards Petrolhead

Should be good Clint, Vince was everywhere in the early days of Vanning.
He did a right up on the VAN MAN car yard in East Vic Park in the late 70;s early 80s not sure.
Do you remember it?
We use to go there Thursday nights and give the car sales guys s**t about them.
Best cross section of vans around with about 30 vans in stock allways.
They had a light mettalic blue SWB beddie that had me barring up every time I saw it. (barring up thinking of it now).
If those photos are there I would love to see em!

jeez, talk about hijacking a thread.... ::)
Damn right.. it's gone from talking about discovering photos from a golden era, to talking about facebook, to toilet humour..
there are plenty of other threads covered in this sort of wank, how about we leave the more 'important' threads as they are?......

Time for the Moderators to start moderating I think.

O.K. The photos will be ready next week, once I've got them I will scan them one at a time which will take a while. If you would like me to e-mail them to you PM me your e-mail addy and I will send them to you 5 at a time as attachments so as not to jamb your computer. I think it's time to spread the BUGA love

Petrolhead, im keen for a set, but it may be more beneficial for you to send them to 1 person and have them upload the photos to BUGA. It would save you having to send the same photos a couple of hundred times.
I could even write you a walkthrough on how to upload photos in bulk to BUGA, sounds like they'd be good photos to have in YOUR gallery ;)

Just worked out how to use my new scanner and guess what I will be doing today guy's
