And his third, the 280 Diesel, is broken down in my front yard at the moment.

Hi Manu, and welcome to the 'other' Bedford club.

In France we mark out of 20. I'd give you a 7 for grammar, spelling and vocab, and a 12 for trying.

Bon courage,

Robin

Wish good luck to you and Petitrobin in restoration of your van.

for my white cf 1977, I have buy it like the photo in 2001 but it is in restauration now, since 2008 and I have put on a roof like the autosleeper, I installed windows on sides, I made and installed a dashboard and I restored the engine. That's all for the moment.

Here's the 280 we picked up last weekend:

It's not really broken down. It just needs a good battery and the preheaters sorting to make it easier to start. We had to tow start it last time. It also needs a lot of welding on the arches and floors, but it is a late modes 5 speed diesel with all the bells and whistles.

Manu is planning to turn it into a pickup, or so he tells me, so if you've got any info about the 'Montréal' model, he'd be interested.

thank you for your help Robin

Effectively, I would like to reconstruct this model.

Two years ago I had found a copy to be sold on a site of annoncements but it was bought by somebody else.

This model was created by a French society wich was called "V.I.P.E." on CF2's base.

I think this 280 could be a good working base for that.

thank you for your help if you known anything else about this model.

Manu

I don't hear about "Pick-up ... Montréal' model. ... This model was created by a French society wich was called "V.I.P.E." on CF2's base."
Do you have any photos of it? How does it look like?
I can try to search through my huge pix gallery.
May be I will find more photos or info.
