Just bunged this on gumtree
!976 CF Bedford van, 173,3 speed manual
Mechanically stock, body stock except the rear doors (reversing camera with 7" screen) and the rear cargo area decked out (needs carpet)
Has 4 mag wheels,(only recently removed) 60 % tread on the front and 95% on back, tyres currently on van have 80%+ tread all round. Runs beautifully and comes with a trailer load of spares including 2 spare diffs (one being a high speed diff)
It is currently registered (only rego-ed and rwc in feb) and in use every day but will sell unreg
Reason for selling is that of an afternoon,  picking up and dropping off kids has become a logistical nightmare due to it being a 2 seater so will be getting a morris minor when this goes.

So I have had my "toy" for about 5 years in the shed as a play thing, and my daily driver turned it's toe's up(it's a jeep thing)  so I got a rwc and regoed the van.
Didn't take long to realise that a two seater does not suit for pick up and drop off's of more than one child at a time as I don't want a ticket for an unsecured passenger.
 and -heres the biggy
two days after I got it registered someone in a white van (make unknown) tried to abduct a girl from my childrens school, so I get 'the look' every time I go there, which is quite often as my wife also teaches there and this has removed the fun of driving it and it does not suit the image of a teacher (which I am)  so I'm gunna buy a morris minor

 so
1976 cf van white, no windows, no rear doors. reversing camera with 7 in monitor
173, 3 speed,standard diff
mag wheels
3/4 decked out in blue velvet
goes well
about 10 months Qld rego (u can get ur own rwc, as I'm over it)
still used daily (about 30 k round trip)

spares include (a trailer load in total)
windscreen plus other glass
side door (window no rust ex cond)
bedford diff with B/W centre and 10 inch drums, no cylinders by memory

wheels and tyres (probably 8-10 in total) 14's and 15's, have currently removed rear mags and running 15's for extra kph
springs, front and rear
front end
boxes of various smalls  etc just can't remember at the moment

$4000
will put up to date fotos in my gallery when I can take them, as busy as a blue arse fly at the moment

big day today
bolted brand new rego plates on the beddy
figure after only 5 years of ownership I am ahead of schedule

so basically, trip to qld trans was its maiden voyage (30k round trip) didn't break down or overheat so there is a bonus
did however get a god awful clunk happening in the rear end and by the time I got home I had diagnosed the worst case scenario.
Fixed with another washer on the all mag nuts, then had to squeeze the rear number plate into small area above towbar and move reversing camera, but all good now
Hopefully will make a slow (standard diff for now) trip down Caboolture for a sticky at easter

Ok, looks like from photo these have had an extra flange welded on to the right side,

I agree but the tall round one one the left looks suss as

Morris Minors have a pivot point mounted on the door jamb, from that there in a short rod with thread on the end that goes into the door. On the threaded end is a rubber stop a big washer and a nut, meaning by using the thread you can adjust how far the door opens
simple yet effective
