I have a weakness for odd, strange or rare cars. This Bedford illustrates that clearly. I found this old banger completely unexpectedly while I was shopping for the Mini project. I fell in love with it instantly, not because of how it looked. Dear God, it was ugly, but I knew immediately that right there was a diamond in a lump of coal. It wasn't really for sale, but I wanted it and after a short bargaining it was mine.
The 1979 truck was in terrible state. It had a lot of parts were missing. Truck was modified anyway, so we decided that it was the way to go. The interior built from parts lying around the shop, parts retrofitted from other models and cars, stuff we didn't find we made from scratch. Everything was made custom.
Full custom retro looking paint job, handmade American-style flatbed and some wildly colored steel wheels. Later this Bedford Blitz was a clear hit in that years Chill'n'Grill. The truck or the garden furniture we put in the flatbed to taxi people at the event.
