are there any good bedfords left?
« on: March 17, 2009, 09:37:21 PM »
I've been a big fan of bedfords for years.

Now I think I might like to get one.

I hear they are old and getting older though.

Say I have a budget of 10-15000 - can I get an A1 mechanical one?

I'd like to run it on straight gas or at least dual and it would be my daily driver doing between 70 to 140km a day.

I wouldn't want it to break down on the freeway.

If a Bedford Van just isn't for me because of reliability issues are there any modern vans that look as sweet? (or come close to looking as sweet?)

how about have both, as the bedford brakes are a bit weak for a chevy you could use the ford as an anchor ;)

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Sorry, guess I shoulda said "fully sick" instead of "sweet". But no, not Kiwi. Melbourne boy.

Where is a good place to find a good bedford for sale?

I've tried ebay, trading post, carsguide, discountusedcars, carsales, and carpoint with no luck.

I'm now thinking I'd better start looking at late model mitsibishi delicas.
