I like it. I really like the sliding front door. Throw that on a four wheel drive frame and let's go.

That is awesome... I'd take it!

not terribly ugly, kind of interesting. The sliding front doors are a great concept.

Wonder where it came from; I was never aware of Bedford having sold vehicles in any LHD market- unless delivery vehicles in RHD markets have the steering wheel on the "wrong" side.....?

I've seen a fair number of Bedford pop top campers on the UK Classic Camper site. Wouldn't they have made LHD models for export to the Continent?

Not my cup o tea... front sliding door is kinda neat though.

My Uncle had one of these outfitted as a camper in the 60's I used to think it was a thing of beauty, now it reminds me of a fascinating bug.

This type of van used to be very common in the UK, I seem to remember them being converted as ice cream vans.

My grandparents had a green one and drove it all over the UK. Great nostalgia trip!

I like it, :smiley_drive: the sliding door would be a great thing for our ever shrinking parking lot spaces.

OK a quick photoshop butcher job.

Ding ding ding... We have a winner!!!!!!

So what's the deal with the LHD??? As someone pointed out, Bedford didn't make trucks for LHD markets did they??? It's kind of cool and being Dormobile is neat as well, kind of like the van version of Terri-ann's Landie eh.

Cheers
