NZ Caffeine & Classics

Not a Bedford, but still worth a look. We spotted this 1968 Dodge van at today's gathering. Took a quick peek underneath and it looks like there is a V8 mounted just behind the front seats.

Hi Gordon, can you possibly help me with some information on the lowering stub axles for the older Mk 1 CF. Cost and availability in your currency. Would you bre prepared to get me a set and mail them to SA. I know that it will be expensive with our crappy exhange rate, but a big improvement for my CF. Possibly also price of all 4 balljoints. Cheers Nebs.

Hi Nebs, I'll pm you. Cheers Gordon

Hi Gordon,

Great stuff and looked like a good run. Would have been there if I had the van back on the road. Did you manage to get any of the owners details of that cool Dodge van? He might want to come along to the nationals next year.

Cheers,
Garry.

No such luck Garry. I hung around hoping he might return to the van at some stage, but it was still there when we left. Hopefully he will be back there next month and I'll give it another try.

Gordon, left when we did, took off from beside us at the lights, sounded nice, an 8 for sure.. middle aged couple in it...

[Gordon]

It sure is a good looking van. Stock looking body and a nice set of wheels. I should have taken some pics of the inside as it was pretty stock too apart from some subtle period upgrades and a colourful Mexican blanket covering the engine cover.

A good turn out at today's Caffeine & Classics. In addition to the usual handful of grumpy old men in Camaros, there was an interesting collection of European vehicles. Spotted a number of VW buses as well as a neat looking Beetle Ute conversion. A few pics for those who are interested.
