For some strange reason I always wanted a Bedford Van. Maybe it was an old matchbox car I had ever since I was little.
Lots of neat stuff there. I love the oddball things.

I've had a couple of Bedfords, though not the shape in question. Check out these links...

I do have a small b&w print of the CA model, which apparently was my father's company vehicle when I was born!

I've had getting on for 100 vehicles of one sort or another, and you'll find photos of many of them on the A40 site, go and spend a happy hour or two... If you join the site you'll be able to read the potted histories I've done for each one.

TR Mark, nice camper!

eddyramrod, nice to see someone from Cyprus on the forum!! I was born there and lived there till I was 16 (many moons ago!)...been back a couple of times since then. You will find quite a few interesting old LBCs knocking about over there! Last time I was there I had a wonderful time rummaging through a couple of junkyards looking for Spridget parts to bring back to the states with me!
 
Kalimera Mike!

Yes, I am finding a lot, as you say; I bought two! Back in England I had, among many others, several American cars which I love. I know I'm going to have my work cut out finding those here so I've gone for the next best thing; the familiar old Brits. Having said that, I've been offered an Alfa, which is something I've never had before... I'm tempted!

My '46 MGTC spent several years on Cyprus when owned by an Army guy. He took it back to the UK with him when he was transfered.
