Does anyone know of a good Bedford CF2 for sale?

I have a business that I want to run either a CF or older Transit, even a Citroen H van as a bit of a novelty. I don't want a "project" or rotbox, but a well preserved or restored older van.

I was tempted to an ex BT Bedford HA but it's not big enough.

Any other suggestions considered...

p.s. I have an old 1989 CF2 Ambulance I can use for mechanical spares hence that is top of the list. And I liked it.

It was looking good till I saw the price. Kinnell!

Yup that sort of thing but more affordable.

It's in East Yorkshire and Cheshire so no Kenjestion charge.

Commer you say. Would it be a two stroke? Mm Possably a bit much for a long run out.

Anyone going to the Classic Van show at Gaydon on 10th Aug? I can't, but if anyone from here is going could they look or ask if anyone has a Bedford CF2 tucked away anywhere and let me know.

Bump. Anyone going to the Classic Van day at Gaydon, please look out for a good CF2 van - not motorhome.

Advert placed Ta.
I say CF2 but CF1 would also tick the box.

(When I had a Maserati 228, I needed a new bearing in the 5 speed box. Turned out it was the same dog leg box from a CF and the parts were a considerably cheaper from Bedford sources...)

Just bought these pair. Needs work but rare beasts. Anyone know where I can get a 4x4 gearbox for them? Been converted to 2wd.

Hope to get one back on the road by the end of the year.

Was the 4x4 system flawed? Seems most have been "converted" to 2wd.

I have still not aquired the bits to get the 4x4 up and running. It will take longer than thought due to rairity.

I have found another to scratch my itch -and its a minter MOT'd low miler. Just taken delivery of a 2.0 SWB panel van. Like a 1 year old van inside and out. Will upload photos later.
