The Bedford Book..... If anyone read my recent query about cf colours, I bought a book called Bedford camper vans and motorhomes by Martin Watts off amazon. Leafing through what looks like a fairly comprehensive history - apparently the cf Bedouin as built by cim was only ever produced in one colour - sand/gold to reflect the Bedouin theme - unfortunately over time this obviously fades to what our Bedouins previous owner referred to as nappy **** brown . I was then somewhat surprised to find one of the pictures in the book is actually of our Bedouin in very nice condition with gleaming paintwork in previously mentioned sandy gold - may be doing a resto to the original colour (or somewhere close) after all

I'm fairly sure the original colour of mine was a light blue (found some original paint behind the pannels. They were indeed orange in the brochure, but I reckon they might have changed the colour in later years - mine was a 1971/2 model. Would make sense though with the sand colour scheme. Certainly never found any hint of orange on my van when removing old paint. |

if you contact the dvla (on line form ) you can find out the full history of your motor from day one, the cost is £5 I think, you have to have a reason to want this info, just tell them that you take and enter it in classic shows and would like the history of your motor. then you will have the name of first owner and you may be able to get the info or even some photos of it
