1972 Bedford CF Dormobile Landcruiser - NGL 256L

Not the prettiest or most aerodynamic vehicle ever made, but these old dormobiles do have a certain charm and are becoming increasingly rare: this is only the second one I've added to this photostream.

"The Dormobile was not invented as such - it grew from a need. It had been noticed that traders were putting cushions into their vans to take the family out. This led to a Utility vehicle - built on the Ford chassis. The vehicle could work all week and on a Sunday the seats could be folded down for the family" ... and so it began!

I had a new CF 250 Van at work many years ago, most of the other guys had Transits - I got the good deal. With a powerful 2.3 litre engine it was a very fast van, and the independent front suspension made it handle well. It was a proper hooligans white van.
