Bedford CF Fire Tender, KLH 245V, 1979, 2, 279 cc
Chassis No. 9777OJY827392, Engine No. 3372391
Launched in November 1969, the Bedford CF van variants were some of the most popular light commercial vehicles on British roads and remained in production very little changed until 1988. Initially powered by a 1. 5-litre Vauxhall FD engine, this eventually rose in capacity to 2. 3-litres. The CF also used the same basic suspension lay-out as the Vauxhall Victor but with greater wheelarch clearances and calibrated for greater weight carrying capacity. The front independent suspension featured a double wishbone layout with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers, while the rear wheels were suspended by a combination involving a live axle and traditional long single-leaf springs
Like the modern-day Ford Transit, the Bedford CF was widely used: the police, in particular, used them for prisoner transport and as riot vans; the military had a very large fleet of CFs; they were very much favoured by builders and builders' merchants; the Post Office had a sizable fleet and many were turned into caravanettes and ice cream vans.
First registered in November 1979, this particular CF has spent all its life as an on-site fire appliance for a major company and has only covered some 7, 400 miles from new. Fitted with the larger 2. 3-litre petrol engine, it in excellent condition throughout and drives very well. Seats in rear compartment. Fitted with fire fighting equipment, pumps, hoses, blue beacons, hose reel, suction hoses, sirens, water tank, etc. It comes with the original handbook and service book, a V5C, a Haynes workshop manual, daily record sheets of movements, twin side doors, all tyres as new. Tax FOC & MOT exempt.
