Less of the patter😢,more of the clatter,

What a beautiful job you have done on it! Do you ever hire them out ? Would love to have a drive in one,! Robin

My friend had a old bedford ca box type luton he made it in to a hotdog hambuger moblie canteen❤

Post man pat in blue

Being a mechanic of over thirty five years expirience, i would have thought that you guys having done a few of these Vans, you would have got or manufactured a puller or small engine lifter to make this enging a doddle to remove, watching this three men struggle to remove an engine, is painfull to watch, easier way would be to drop the front axel.

That would be quite a job to remove the spare wheel, if you had too by the side of the road and added to the fact that it probably would be raining 😮

Whats it's chassis and engine numbers?

Had a cf in the late 70s brilliantly simple snd love the column change gears snd yes still remember how to select lol wish i had one for my final year of driving coming up 69 now

Love those old ca doormobile campers a work mate used to have a maroon and white one and a yellow and grey commer van camper and a landrover camper he went all over europe in them .

Should try to get a bulk buy the old vauxhall next to the ca van looks maybe saveable or great for spares for another project glad you tracked down the owner mate 👍

My dad passed his drivering test in one of these it had nickles sighn writing on it and no passenger seat coloum shift and the examiner had to sit on a crate with a cushion on it lol great find mate 👍

Judging by that north yorkshire registration, I wouldn't be surprised if the previous owners were the renowned Rea family of Teeside, the Rea family were relatives of singer Chris Rea

torrque them nuts mate

As i have the attention span of a goldfish i'm liking the short video.

As I am new to the channel, why is Gary's van called Gary?

I used to work on these vans at vauxhall in 60,s

Hilarious.. Brings new meaning to the theatrical phrase "Voices Off"

Bedford ca debonair

Good video the first motorway was 1958 Preston bypass it’s now part of the m6

Harry must have gone in there for a jack dash and that’s how he found it 😂 look forward to next instalment good luck

like what i see do you have a contact number as i could do with some parts ???????????????????? please

Great to see your youngsters are interested in these beautiful vans. I own a 1955 splity morris miner.

My dad had 3 of these vans used for collection and delivery of dry cleaning brilliant work horses

That’s a lovely Romany ,what brainless Morons that vandalised the old girl.

Worked at vauxhall Luton many years ago making these vans not an easy van to drive and prone to rust

Come on ! John loves a coconut mushroom. Don't we all 😋

As others, below, have pointed out, the registration plate tells all that is needed.

Stop eating all the coconut mushrooms Johnny boy 😊

It needs pulling out asap .john . It might be recoverable. You got to watc fir the acid erosion from the weeds underneath. Thet can be .A pain . I lost a Austin champ down to that . That becouse I parked in my garden .The plan .When i got a bit of spear time .now Iam retired plus . And i could be doing. Dont forget the the old saying .dont let the crass throw under your feet . Good Luke.

I would have thought a hoist would have got the engine out easier

Delightful

A donk is what we called motors year's ago.

Dad had two vans as work and family transport on a country estate in Shropshire in the 60/70s. Used to pull a land Rover trailer. We called it a Bedford Door mobile. I think one reg was YUJ 6I9. The earlier on was AW - can't remember the rest. Learned to drive in them on estate drives. Three gears and column change.

I used to own a CA Bedford. Just front seats, and a rattling back door. Did long trips rather slowly though. Thing is the rear cargo space was much better than all vans I have driven since. Doors open wide, and it is a true "box shape. Lacked a heater though.

These were built/converted at the bottom of my road in Cheriton, Folkestone.. Many of my old school mate worked & carried out their apprenticeship with Dormobile..😀

I used t drive a Bedford CA vans for Carwardins Coffee delivering on farms on Dartmoor

Great find I remember my dad had one from his works it was called a workobus with bench seating running down the length of the rear either side and column change gears

How much would a Bedford camper cost from yourselves the one your working on looks a beautiful thing.

Nice R tec welder

They were a pile of crap back in the day. Dreadful van. Lucky the Transit and CF Bedford came along.

Dad always had these vans a magic time

apologies but in all honesty it could do with a different camera position to reduce the no of views of your back and body parts obscuring some of the work being done. it's great stuff to watch if we can see it.

FYI One of my pet hates is identifying Reliant Robins as Robin Reliants and also Del Boy drove a Reliant Regal!!
