Posted on this before, but info this time around.
Well on paper the CBS Supervan was a promotional vehicle but that doesn’t mean it shares any similarities with other promotional vehicles like say the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile.
Alan Arnon, the marketing manager of CBS automotive parts built this as a promotional one off sometime in the 80s. (CBS made brake pads, clutches, belts etc)
Starting as a standard Bedford CF the most noticeable modification done to this Van at first glance is the wide body but beneath all of that custom bodywork lies the real craziness.
This van is powered by a 4.4 Rover v8 motor, has a Jaguar XJ12 front and rear suspension (that’s the one with inboard brakes), air shocks, Recaro seats with speakers in the headrests… the list goes on and on.
Basically the CBS Supervan is a super awesome van that once roamed the uk but seems to have have vanished over the years.
Apparently it is being mothballed so really someone needs to find it and bring it back out.
