Hi Yoel,

I think it is going to be very difficult for you to find parts close to Israel. I suspect there is a very interesting story behind how your CF280 ended up in Eilat ! I have seen a few Bedfords in Turkey - it might be possible to find some parts there. Anywhere the British Army was during the 1970s and 1980s is likely to have old or scrapped Bedfords somewhere.

Most of the Bedford parts available are in England. Body panels for the CF1 are very rare and very expensive, even here, but mechanical parts are easily available. It is possible to buy fibreglass copies of some of the body parts - I have not fitted any, but they require a fair bit of work to get right judging by other peoples' experiences.

The problem is that shipping parts to Israel will be very expensive. To fix the body it would be cheaper to get a good welder and metalworker to replace the rusted sections.

For a list of spare parts, have a look at this website - Adrian Bailey is the biggest supplier of Bedford parts, but he is not cheap. You can phone him on 44 113 263 4288.
