1977 Bedford CF Motorhome

1977 Bedford CF Motorhome (one off), Opel 2100cc diesel, built by my father, BRIAN MULLAN,BALLYMONEY….

My dad at his best…

He bought this as a brand new CF shell in 1978, built it as a van, with Recaro seats, roof lining, sunroofs, inner panels, carpet etc…

It was completely built from new, shot blasted and painted parts,reconditioned engine, new bearings, seals etc etc

My father used it as a car, whilst restoring his Range Rover (also on this site)….

When the Rover was finished, he had no use for the van, so he split it in two, set 8’ into it, fitted a specially made high roof, and converted it into a motorhome.. furnishing the interior with equipment from caravan outfitters. It has everything, too much for me to detail on here….hope to let you see it all in the ‘flesh’ soon.

I’m not saying this because he was my dad, and I’m immensley proud of him, but the standard of workmanship in this vehicle, is second to none…

If it was stripped out, you would swear,it was factory built, such was the effort my dad went to…

Original strengthening panels were removed from donor vehicles, and fitted to the new panels… the amount of thought and work that into this vehicle was breathtaking…

It is currently up on axle stands, and has been for the last 12 yrs… due to my late dads ill health.

I hope to return it to the roads to have his skills admired soon…

He was one in a million..my dad xx

I started the following club in his memory, all are welcome…
