It's the B-Team's Bedford you crazy fools!

Look what crashed into a Southwest London garden the other day - the B-Team van!

What is it about Bedford CF's that made them so popular with customisers in the 1970s and 80s? And I'm not only talking about homemade jobs like this either. Check out this advert for the Cavalier Coachman Stratus 250R.

So can anyone guess what year this yellow Bedford would have been produced? It appears to have a prefix number plate - which would make it an 'A', 'B' or 'C' reg wouldn't it? But it looks considerably older than that.

I know of an A prefix registered CF with the black radiator grille carrying the white Bedford name and the MkII headlights etc. therefore it would appear that the illustrated van has a Q prefix (just visble in photo) as a 'vehicle of indeterminate age'

Peter Lynch:

We got an Aussie version with 2.85 litre Holden red motor and 3 speed auto. They didnt sell as well as the Ford Transit however.
