Davey,

Not seen this one before, thanks for posting it. Not trying to nit-pick, but isn't the PCV behind it a Ford Thames 10/12cwt job.

I always thought the van version of the Vauxhall Viva HA was badged as a bedford? or am I badly wrong?

I think the vans were badged as Bedfords, possibly Bedford Beagles!

Chris,

Yes, in those days the van was indeed badged as a Bedford. So was the estate car version (my late father had one in 1965) and it was badged as a Bedford Beagle !

Anyone know what these vans would have been used for?

General run arounds maybe?
