    It has some historical interest but I expect everybody who wanted one got one when they were all disposed of. Its now just a money pit for somebody with a lot of space to keep it and big spanners.

    Its not like you can use it as a car, a 1 tonne van for the dump, a camper and conversation piece while it still fits in a car park space..

    I’ve now been distracted by looking at a Travellers Vans site and checking out the Green Goddesses :) and dreaming of what I could have had!

    My brother in law used to work for several years in the '70's for a company called Intertrek, and used to drive the Bedford RL's with a bunch of young people in the back, to Kathmandu and across Africa.
    He says the petrol version would do 5-7 mpg and the Diesel ones about 11 mpg.
