The 1967 Bedford CA van was a classic British light commercial vehicle, known for its distinctive split windscreen and rounded, utilitarian design. Produced by Vauxhall Motors under the Bedford brand, it was widely used by small businesses, delivery services and even the Post Office. Powered by a modest 1.5 to 1.6 litre petrol engine, the CA wasn't built for speed but offered reliability and practicality. Its sliding doors and spacious cargo area made it especially useful in urban settings. Today, the Bedford CA is cherished and often restored for shows, reflecting a nostalgic slice of 1960s Britain.

Originally registered in 1967, this enthusiast owned Bedford appears to have benefitted from an earlier restoration and presents well in green paintwork with red seats. The sliding doors work well, and although not used regularly the engine fired up when requested. This once ubiquitous model is now a rare sight on the highway but would make an ideal vehicle for signwriting or just a trip down memory lane. This attractive example appears to be well priced given the rarity and popularity of this model. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document. Consigned by Dominic Lake
