Germany 23rd / 26th June 2011? Hi,As an admin for the French Bedford Van Club I thought some of the members of cf.co.uk may be interested in an international meet organised by the German Bedford club in June. The dates are 23rd to 26th of June, and details can be found here: http://www.bedford-blitz.de/treffen/treffen.html We are intending to send a convoy of ten or a dozen vans to the meet, and any Brits would of course be welcome to join us.

Hi, just an update. We've got two convoys heading for Germany, one from central/southern France and one from Normandy. We'll be meeting up on the Thursday night at the border between France Germany and Luxembourg, and continuing together from there. We'll be staying on site on the Friday and Saturday nights, and heading home on the Sunday afternoon. At present there are six vans going and a pickup... Please feel free to join us en route. Robin |

Thanks Gethin for updating this post. As planned, there will be six French vans attending. I'll post photos when I return. It sounds like quite a big meet from the info I'm getting from Germany. Any takers? Robin |

Well what a collection! I know that I couldnt get there this year, but it gives me something to aim for in the future. I shall have to get a passport sorted as I havent had one for 10 years! Good luck with the meet and even if none of us make it please pass on our respect and good wishes to our continental beddie cousins! ---------------------- |

I've changed the oil in the engine, box and diff. The new radiator leaks have all been sorted, the electric fan is working fine, as is the new fuel pump, and all I've got left to do is give the van a good clean and pack after work tomorrow. Should be a good weekend. I'll post photos when I get back. Robin |

Here we go, there are rather a lot of photos... The first to leave was my Friend Christophe from the South of France, ready for Germany: 
He met up with two others in Paris: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=595&u=12948636]  [/url]
And the final member on the German border: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=596&u=12948636]  [/url]
Off we went in a convoy of four towards the unknown: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=598&u=12948636]  [/url]
But not without a few flags to say where we were coming from: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=597&u=12948636]  [/url]
As soon as we arrived we were literally surrounded by fans: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=599&u=12948636]  [/url]
Including Dutch friends we'd met before - rather nice special order camper he bought new with the optional four speed gearbox!!! [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=600&u=12948636]  [/url]
We set up our marquee: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=601&u=12948636]  [/url]
Put out a table for parts and souvenirs, and were surrounded once again - I guess our prices were just a little lower than the dealers who were there! [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=602&u=12948636]  [/url]
More photos to come. Robin |

Here are some of the competition... A rather nice German van: 
And the other end: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=604&u=12948636]  [/url]
And another: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=605&u=12948636]  [/url]
This one had a Mercedes Sprinter engine, box, dash, front hubs and rear axle, so disc brakes all round, 140ps and air-con! [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=607&u=12948636]  [/url]
And another: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=608&u=12948636]  [/url]
This early cf340 has done over one million kilometres on its 2300 petrol engine: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=609&u=12948636]  [/url]
This former RHD ambulance has been converted to LHD and Turbo Diesel by a the owner of the Dutch Bedford Garage: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=610&u=12948636]  [/url]
Around 20 of these Hymer campers were present, this was the prettiest: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=611&u=12948636]  [/url]

The Bedford Beer Bar was there as expected: 
Here's a nice surprise: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=613&u=12948636]  [/url]
Not a Bedford, but rather nice: [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=614&u=12948636]  [/url]
And, to finish, a rather nice early cf ambulance? [url=http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=615&u=12948636]  [/url]
Feast your eyes! Robin |
