Bedford PC van & Utilavan brochure.
The video below features a 1949 brochure for the classic Bedford PC 1/2 ton van, and related Utilavan and Utilavan ambulance - both conversions undertaken by Martin Walter, well-known for their van conversions (campers etc). Surviving PC vans are few and far between, which is a shame as they're a superb looking van in my opinion. The PC can traces its roots back to the similar-looking JC of 1939, although when the latter was updated to create the PC, improvements included 12v rather than 6v electrics, column gearchange (and improvement?) and a larger rear body to enable greater loads to be carried.
