    Saw this beauty in France. Had a quick chat with the German guy who owned. He was a fan of British vehicles and had got an old Land Rover too. Said he’d had a Bedford camper that he lived but it fell to bits! That would be quality British engineering!

    apparently although lhd this one made in Britain :)

    I want one :)

    The engine in that ....I presume is an Opel vehicle with an Opel engine in it ,probably a opel 2.3 diesel engine .
    Which was also put in the Bedford CF campers .

    it was at an aire Nr Millau. Just a loo no cafe etc. It’s where we discovered the Fiat shock absorber had gone and covered the wheel arch etc in oil!

    The early ones that were up to W plate .

    yes, it was fab but I was a bit nervous as we had just noticed the shock absorber was leaking and I didn’t want to swerve off the bridge!! :)

    Probably because that's the only bit (other than having four wheels, not two), that makes it look remotely like a "vehicle" not a caravan .... It's given me a headache :confused:
