Classic Bedford chip van.

Commercial vehicles often came with fabulous one-off coachwork. A fabulous example is this mobile fish & chip van. So many commercials lose their job-specific rear bodies and are replaced with simple wooden flatbeds. Top marks to whoever restored this one as a chip van. Bedford model codes are notoriously confusing but I'm fairly sure this is based on the popular O series.

Bedford Books Whether for the chip van as shown below, or any other type of Bedford, it is worth having a look on Amazon for books, DVDs, Videos etc.

If you have any more info or restoration stories about this particular chip van, or chip vans in general, I'd really like to feature it on oldclassiccar.

Bedford chip van that I saw at Tatton in June 05.


I took all these photos at the classic & vintage show held at Tatton Park, in June 2005. The Bedford shown above was one of several hundred vehicles held in the grounds of this National Trust property.

Some vehicles appear at a number of local shows throughout the season, so I've picked my favourite 95 photos from this particular old-car gathering. The other 94 pictures can be found on the main Tatton Park car show page. If I missed your car out, then I apologise! If the chip van featured here is yours then I hope you're pleased to see it featured here. If there were other Bedfords at the show which I've included in this image gallery, the links will be further down this page.
