That's a great one, it's so low you can easily enter it with a wheelchair, just roll in.  Grin

How about something with a couple more wheels?

Now that IS a Lemons-mobile, even room for an indoor barbie!!

Has to be said that the CA was indeed a gorgeous creation and would be high on my list if it wasn't for my strange childhood fixation with wanting to be a van driver and a yearning for the CF that was borne out of an endless stream of Trannies that were my steed in my delivery days!!

And that is a particularly fine example. To quote our beloved Loaded mag - "Good Work Fella" to both the owner and you for supplying the photo!!

Crikey - where have all these beauties been all my life?

Unfortunately all the van trannies I drove were of the MkII/facelift variety but I drove a few of these with dormobile bodies and chairlifts! Oh those were the days, just bumming around from one pay packet to the next.

Rick, several CFs for sale on the Classic Camper Club website, not too expensive. Hit the link then click where it says CLICK HERE under the Tin Snail.

http://classiccamperclub.tripod.com/Forsalesandwants.htm

My own best memory of the CF is of a local builder who owned one near where I grew up. The man was as thick as pig sh*t and twice as smelly.  Grin Anyway, one day he tried to run over a pheasant in the road to feed his to 'orrible vandal kids. The pheasant moved to the other side of the road, so the fool swerved to hit it, lost control and smashed into a stone built bridge. What a mess, van written off and his teeth smashed in.  Cheesy It improved his looks no end. The pheasant got away, shortly after his wife ran off with the man from the Pru. Cry

Commer drivers are the gentlemen of the roads and would not plumb such depths of behaviour. I suggest you join the international Commer set and not the Bedford louts.

The first one is even a prototype, a real LMP so to say. I wasn't aware that Ford built any LMPs in 1972 but hey, you never stop learning. This one even has hot & cold running water, shower, toilet, fridge and a cooker. Seems to be the ideal vehicle for a 24 hour non stop run.
