What is CFS v's CFL ??
« on: November 01, 2013, 11:53:08 AM »
Hi Guys, been looking at Bedford's for sale and trying to comprehend what is what.

So i was under the impression that CFS was a short wheel base and these have the low roof profile, then the CFL was the long wheel base and these have what looks to be approx 100mm higher roof line above the gutters compared to the short wheel base ....

so then i see an internet ad with what looks like a CFS (low roof and shorter wheel base) but its labelled CFL and so now im confused, is the ad just labelled wrong or is there a grey area i don't know about ?

so this may be trivial to some, but from specs i found on this site i can only just fit a CFS in my shed and definately not a CFL so this plays a big part in my searching for a suitable bedford!

There was also a LWB (CFL) model with the lower roof height.

ok that cool, and that roof height is the same as a SWB ? as apposed to the height of the LWB with the higher roof ?

I would ultimately like a LWB but I don't really need it, but I need the low roof to allow me to garage it! (and that is a must for me for it long term)

The local hospital where I live used to have a 126" wheelbase Beddy with the lower roof
and three rows of seats in the back. Bedford named them the Utilabus.

As others have said CFS (short low roof) CFL log high roof) is the usual configuration.

But ther are viriations, CFL with out dual wheels are an example.

The easiest way to pick a CFL is to look for the extra panel/section after the front doors as in the picture above.
