And therein lies the problem...

Hi Ying

Dare I say it ....... you might be better of with a more modern vehicle....like a T...t.....Tr....Tran.....Transit.

Remeber that Bedfords are at least 30 years old now, and, unless you find an exceptional one, they will require good basic mechanical skills and $ to keep on the road.

i don't know much about cars and their bits so don't get too technical on me.

And this is another problem. If you don't know much about cars and you want one of these then you better have a lot of money.

I certainly wouldn't bet the success of my business on the reliability of a CF.

i think there really reliable. they reliably break down and you are forced to fix them so you learn lots. see reliable:)

I don't know what the problem is. If you do them up properly they are very reliable. I have done in excess of 320,000km in mine & it has not stranded me as yet.

Maybe but re-read the comments above. No mechanical knowledge and Marty let's be honest, when it comes to DIY you're a man on a mission. As Warren said these vehicles are around the 30 year old mark now and unless you have already spent the dollars and replaced everything and know them inside out you should not trust the success of a fledgling business to one unless of course you have some kind of backup.

[Worzel]

If you do everything then it should be good, but 'everything' is a hell of a lot an bits will still break,

way cooler than a transit though
