Thought I'd introduce myself as this is my first CF. Always had Trannies or cars before. Oh and me Motorbikes! Recently bought my Camper off Ebay for not a lot of money, it had a little tax left and a longish MOT. Do nt know much about the model other than its a Camper Van conversion by Walkers. It has a 2.3 slant 4 cylinder with 4 speed ZF gearbox, electronic distributor and Webber carb. The chassis is remarkably solid. And rear suspension is the heavy duty type. Apparently the previous owner had put in a new cambelt and head gasket, and I cant find a leak anywhere. Clutch, gearbox and axle are all fine. And the rear diff does nt whine..it seems I bought something half decent reading the trials and tribulations of others on the Forum. The body is somewhat tatty...surface rust or a little crustiness here and there. But all in all I think it has the makings of a nice vehicle. Its already got two Captains chairs fitted - luxury or wot? So I've started reupholstering inside first and then I intend to respray before the Summers end! I've done a Google search to find out about the model but cant find nothing so if anybody has any info I'd welcome it! All I know further is that this is the transition model between the CF1 and the CF2. So heres to a long Summer and hopefully a revamped CF at the end! ---------------------- |

Hi Rich and welcome to the site. You've got a CF1 facelift. Have a look at http://bedfordcf.co.uk/history.htm for a very brief history of the CF. I've no idea about the Walkers conversion though  I've heard of Martin Walker but I think they were just on the CA vans.
