1974 Bedford CF Dormobile Landcruiser For Sale
Welding required to:
Front drivers side front wing/ panel support-new plate to be welded from main chassis.
Front drivers side inner wing liner - small patch weld required for a hole above wheel.
Rear drivers side chassis section - small patch weld required for a hole on main beam behind wheel.
Requires two new front tyres - plenty of tread but the rubber is partially perished due to age.
Requires new rubber hoses for camping gas connection.
New rear section exhaust due to breakage.
The above items would cost approximately £1, 300 including parts/ labour.
The interior is all original and in very good condition for its age. Somehow the van seems much bigger on the inside than you would believe but at the same time very cosy. Originally equipped with a full double bed and two hammocks for children, but sadly we do not have the poles or hammocks though the chassis attachments remain. There is masses of storage space in both under-seat and overhead compartments, plus a generous wardrobe and long shelves. There is also a dedicated compartment with a portable toilet. The van is equipped with 240v electric hook up powering 3 single 13 amp sockets and the fridge with ice compartment. The fridge works off the gas supply with two gas bottles slung under the chassis and accessible through a hatch in the floor. The cooker hob is a traditional two gas ring with grill. The separate gas cooker is sufficiently large to cook a roast dinner. The sink is supplied with pumped water and we have the waste canister which needs placing under the van when parked up. The water tank is vast and lasts us for up to two weeks of constant use.
Externally the van is overall a good looker, but there are a few areas that need attention for it to be at its best. The worst of these is a patch of rust on the front drivers wing above the wing mirror attachment (see photo). However, both front wings and doors have been repaired at some point in the past and this has resulted in a 'bumpy look' (see photos). If you wanted to invest in this van for the long term then replacing with wings and doors would transform the external condition and add significant value. New wings or wing repair sections are currently available on eBay from £75-£200. New or second hand doors regularly appear on eBay.
In addition the side window rubbers though functional are in need of replacement. Fortunately these are readily available and with a few hundred pounds investment would really smarten the van exterior. One rubber has failed on a rear quarter and has been kept watertight with specialist tape. There are also a few small areas of rust and paint bubbles, but really quite good given the camper van is 46 this year! The coach body is all fibreglass, so no rust but there are some fine cracks in a few places if you look closely. Also the roof is a bit patchy in places where bird lime or similar has affected the paint (before we owned it) but as it is a pale colour underneath this doesnt really detract from the overall look. Regrettably a neighbour has just damaged the O/ s/ f chrome bumper; it has been partially bent skyward and will need straightening. This happened whilst parked and waiting for a viewing! Owning this van is a real pleasure, not only because it is so cute but also because it is so unusual and rare, therefore making it feel all the more special. Naturally this is beginning to translate to increasing value and therefore this is a sensible long term investment.
