Jimi, I reckon the Bedford needs another 10 years before it reaches cult status.  The challenge is going to be reversing all of the modifications that we have made in order to get them back to the classic look. A split window VW bus with flared wheel arches, welded up doors and all kinds of other add ons is worth a fraction of the value of a stock looking one.

yeah I guess it depends on what the market wants a bit too...

I know personally I want to keep my van looking stock on the outside with modern driveline etc, but even that takes away from the value of a totally original van!

Your spot on Gunning. I don't think any of us are in it for financial gain. Its what makes us happy. We could be doing worse things with our money. What a boring old life it would be if we all had the same tastes.
