A nice find eventually, shame you couldn't have got it a few years back to save all the extra work now it has stood longer, i always remember sometime in the 80's i borrowed a friends (large front screen) CAL to collect some parts for my old Austin's, the gearchange was well worn lol
Yes,I'm happy we have it now,but as you say, 10 ish years ago it would have been a much easier restoration! But as long as we have it now! It will be returned to the road at some point.. cheers for watching bud, john and benj mwg.
If anyone is interested check out the Baking Bird channel or Trev's blog for great videos of a Bedford CA van that they're selling cakes and coffees from that Trevor has restored 😀
That's a matter of opinion buddy,the ca is a brilliant van if well maintained,that was the trouble,they where used and abused..work horse's.. loved them then and love now..
My father had one he used in the building trade, lasted for over 20 or more years with nothing more than new spark plugs on one occasion. Excellent van...
A nice save, just in time I reckon, now in safe hands🙂👍
Cheers buddy 👍

Hay Mark,it will be staying blue,true to the van.. but it would look nice red and cream 😋
Red and cream, was a Nice combination, my dads ca was that colour, can’t believe that was Scrapped when I see what can be repaired

Where would we be without strap on's ? 😂😃😀😁😂😃😂😁😀😃
They were a pile of crap back in the day. Dreadful van. Lucky the Transit and CF Bedford came along.
