My Dad had a Beford CA... it seemed enormous when I was a kid!!!

[@trevsblog]

Yes they’re smaller in real life than in pictures, quite strange really 👍

[@nexpro6985]

OMG I worked for Express Motors in my late teens. Pinkham Way New Southgate. The boss was one Mr. Roger Holmes. He gave me a lift into work one morning in his Bentley. I swear it had fur instead of floor mats.

This looks to be an extremely interesting restoration, upgrade and modification you have planned, and I'm delighted to have found your channel and to have subscribed. Your new van is a year younger than me!

[@rastarockstevie]

I think I'm going to enjoy this. just found you a couple of days ago. I guess i have a little binge coming up. :-)

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

I jumped in around part 10, so I'm going back to the start to understand why and what you are doing. It is an interesting and long term project. I like what I've seen up through part 18.

Trev I miss the singing and cool music you use to have !!! D

[@goldeee666]

that is a cool little van. yeah it was a different world back then. I totally agree with your choice of upgrades. forget that mapped out (by someone else) life.

2wheel charlie Definitely, had enough of that crap! Move on and do your own thing, you won’t get much thanks whatever you do so you might as well tread your own path. Cheers Trev 👍

[@simonmercer9530]

Trev where are you with the project now? I’m gagging to see how far you’ve come along with this. Hope your well

[@trevsblog]

Simon Mercer Hi Simon it’s coming along nicely and I’m painting stuff now. Part 20 should be later on this year. Cheers Trev 👍

Love this mate!! I have plenty of content to catch up on!! 😂 Great to meet you guys today! And loved that van!

[@trevsblog]

Thanks buddy I will subscribe to your channel 👍 keep up the vlog your enthusiasm was quite brilliant today 🤩 this will definitely bring you success. I’ll attach your plug on a video I’ll be uploading in a couple of weeks 👍

[@dizzy_cap_car_show]

@@trevsblog it was great to meet you guys! It’s so nice hearing stories and meeting other YouTubing! Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!! Hopefully catch up soon mate!

[@trevsblog]

It was great to meet you and do the car meet. We will most probably do it again as it was getting us out and about. We normally trade a three day a week pitch, which is good as a regular but we don’t see enough new faces. Be good to have a chat again 👍

[@philipknowles8361]

Hi Trev, love your video's. But must mention that this CA is technically a MK2, as MK1's had a spit screen back in 1952 and changed to a full screen in 1958. Cheers anyway. Philip.

[@trevsblog]

Philip Knowles you’re right Philip, I made this shortly after buying it. Cheers Trev 👍

[@andyarmstrong76]

Smashing v8 boys toy boss, not so humbrum life is it lol

[@trevsblog]

Mini Man Shed Thanks Martin, this was made shortly after leaving a place I’d been working at for nearly 10 years. A deeply controlling and horrible place to work., my life was very mapped out for me by others, but not anymore 😁 cheers Trev 👍

[@mickmangles8000]

Time warp Trev ..

[@trevsblog]

duck my sick building a time machine, now there’s an interesting idea 💡🤔

[@toddcott9510]

Build a new van round the steering wheel and scrap the rest.
