1967 Bedford CA Van - EJP 174F

1967 Bedford CA Van - EJP 174F
The Bedford CA was a distinctive pug-nosed light commercial vehicle produced between 1952 and 1969 by Vauxhall Motors subsidiary Bedford Vehicles, in Luton, United Kingdom.

It was manufactured in short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase forms, each form available in either a 10–12 cwt or a 15 cwt version.

Generally it was supplied as a light delivery van with sliding doors, but it was also available as a chassis with cowl upon which specialist bodywork could be added.

Interesting Van! Was access to the engine on the inside?

To be honest Norm I wasn't too sure, but I did some quick digging around online.

It seems the engine extended back into the cabin, which is why it has such a short bonnet, giving it its distinctive look. Access to the engine for routine checks was via the tiny bonnet flap or the interior cowling. However, for major work to be undertaken the front panel containing the headlights and grille etc had to be completely removed.

Probably a better system than we have here. Most vans require the engine to be dropped out of the bottom of the chassis for major repairs. One of the reasons I've never owned a van.

Forgot to mention that from what I read you've got to remove the front cross member too!

Sounds similar to what they do on the vans here. The engine is bolted to the front cross member.
