This 1978 Bedford Chevanne has a 1256cc engine with four-speed manual gearbox, it is one of only 14 known to the DVLA on UK roads today. I would argue this particular van is one of the best examples.

This van had a full bodywork restoration carried out in 2010 and is in perfect condition with no visual blemishes it’s almost brand new. Sporting red vinyl and cloth interior the inside is as good as the outside. It shows 82,000 miles on the odometer. It starts perfectly and has recently been recommissioned after long-term indoor storage including the carburettor rebuild and brakes rebuilt and adjusted. It has just four previous owners shown on the V5 and it believed to have been used as a parts delivery van for a Vauxhall dealer.

It comes with comprehensive files including owner’s manual, warranty document, service book and comes with a CD-rom showing the body restoration that was carried out in 2010. It has recently passed it’s MOT and passed with no advisories.

Overall this vehicle is in excellent condition and would suit anybody who has a love for Bedford’s, it was even on the front cover of ‘Classic Van and Pick-Up’ magazine issued in November 2013 - see photographs. A must for the serious van collector.
