1986 Bedford CF2 van, camper, rat rod, barnstormer. SOLD

It's GOT to go now. Make me an offer...

12 months MOT
Taxed until next June I think, or thereabouts.
Petrol, 2. 0 engine, manual 5 speed.

A summer of bad timings meant my van didn't get MOT'd in time before my summer holiday, so I've had to turn interested parties away while I try and find the time to get it through. Its a long story and I'm happy to tell you all about it if you're interested. We could meet in a park and share our stories over a packet of Quavers. Short version of the story is that my van will be back on the road by the weekend and it REALLY has to go because I've just purchased a lovely classic car.

This is a great van. It's been a good and loyal companion for about five years, but it needs someone to take over now. It has a list of great features and new parts (more or less everything that would be likely to wear out at 30 years of age has been replaced with sturdy new stuff), and a list of bad points and adorable quirks. Email me and I'll tell you everything. EVERYTHING. Even stuff I'm ashamed of.

Rust? Did you just say rust?

Oh yes. It's got rust alright. Don't worry about that. Its the good sort too. The kind that looks good. The kind that takes a lifetime to cultivate. Its not that crumbling dank nasty stuff that falls apart. Its that tough, arse-kicking rust that kicks arse and looks tough.

Last time it was advertised I was asking for £1200. Now that it really needs to go, I'm open to offers, but that doesn't mean three quid and a Jamie Oliver fridge magnet. Use your noggin. .

A rock solid and dependable van that looks like hell. Moves along just right, accelerates very nicely indeed, drives straight, pulls up straight even when braking hard. It goes round corners like an elbow, and goes up hills like a van. It leaks nothing at all... not engine oil, not gearbox or diff oil, not water nor brake fluid and definitely not glitter. Makes no peculiar noises at all, but sometimes it makes a peculiar smell. I like that though. It makes me feel cozy. Starts every time, stops every time. Draws a crowd, looks the business, doesn't suffer fools gladly on the highway. Makes you feel like a member of the Bee Gees every time you drive it.

Wait, not the Bee Gees... I meant Motorhead.

If you like driving, and you like vans, and you like Mad Max, and Pina Coladas made of petrol, testosterone and dead flies as a garnish, then this is the van for you. If you like comfort, cute air freshners, and adorable comedy eyelashes on Nissan Micras, its not.

Buy my van. It needs a new owner.
