Oxford Diecast 76CFV006 - Bedford CF Van Eastern Gas

The Bedford CF small commercial van was first introduced by Bedford - in 1969. It succeeded the  Bedford CA van and was seen as a competitor to rival Ford’s Transit van. It was the last vehicle to be designed solely by Vauxhall and was one of the most popular light commercials of the day due its versatility, which included it being a template for a caravanette, notably the Bedford Dormobile. With longitudinal front engine and rear wheel drive and transmission of 2/4/5 manual to a 3-speed General MoTors automatic, the CF Van was given a facelift in 1980, which introduced a 2.3L diesel engine as an alternative to the petrol engine.

Our very useful CF Van makes its latest entrance in a 1980s Gas livery, this time as used by the utility company’s Eastern branch. With a white body and royal blue roof and white bonnet, the model has been masked along the sides and rear with royal blue, light blue and aquamarine stripes. The bumpers are also white and the Eastern Gas logo features in white on the cab and rear doors.  Our Gas van is registered MMJ 153P from 1975.
