Mk1 Panel Van GVW

Hello there, I've just bought a lovely, 1 owner, totally stock (even down to the original spare tyre!) Bedford CF Mark 1 panel van in white.

I'd just like to know how to tell what the gross vehicle weight is. It says on the log book (still has the 1975 style one!) that the unleaden weight is 1385.8 KG. I want to know how much weight my van can carry please.

Thanks for your time,

Cheers
Ian

Hi and welcome to the site.

I'm currently stuck in Somerset on a mobile dongle with really slow access so can't point you to exactly the right place but if you take a look at http://bedfordcf.co.uk/brochure.htm there should be a sales brochure from around the time of your van. Hopefully it should give you the info you require

Bago, glad to help

Tim, where is she? This net connection is sooooo slow I can't read all of your thread.

Off on a weird tangent, theres a really good full(ish) moon view here tonight.

The vinplate on mine is on the passenger door pillar.If you open the door it should be there if not look in other obscure places!That's where the gvw will be displayed.

Hi Bago and welcome to the Club. There is a wealth of information on CF's here, and some really knowledgeable people to help with the tricky bits!

Hi Colin,

Does the full(ish) moon have some significance to you? Do you howl at full moon time?

Hello Ian,
First of all, welcome to the site. Secondly, congratulations on your latest purchase. Thirdly, and most importantly, where do you find these bargains from?

No. I'm just off to shave the palms of my hands.

Ahem!

Anyway, that's a long way from here. I'm enjoying a week off by the coast at a place called Dunster Beach near Minehead. Still got a really bad signal though

Hello Colin,
Yes I was told you had hair half way down your back......not on your head, just down your back.

Hello Tim,
You make it sound so easy. I can't wait to drop mine in (Pinto though), mind you I better wear steel toe capped boots as it might go right the way through

Well, when you haven't got a clue how to do it yourself, and you don't have any tools, or equipment, or a garage, or a workshop, or anyone to give you a hand ... it does start to feel quite easy.

You either get someone else to do it (easy) or don't bother having it done (also easy)
