Welcome to CF-UK, The Bedford CF Van and Camper Club. A club open to anyone and everyone with an interest in the Bedford CF and Bedford / Opel Blitz It's a small area of the internet dedicated to the Bedford CF in all it's forms including motorhome, camper, van and pick up. ENTER CF-UK The Bedford CF UK Van & Camper Site. This is a 1981 Bedford CF with the 2.3 Turbo Diesel from a Frontera. It's endearing, so much so that it pains me to get rid of it. Driving it you feel like king of the road. I've had so many thumbs up smoking around in this. You'll probably not see another one with this swap done. Cheap insurance!

Wait, so they used to vans for the Scooby-Doo movie? Man, they are cheap! And wasn't the origenal Mystery Machine (or whatever they call it) something more classic like a third generation Ford Econoline E-150 or a Dodge Ram Van?

It was hard to tell what the mystery machine in the cartoon was. IT seemed like a Chevrolet Van, a Dodge A100, and a Ford Econoline all put together.

In the original cartoon series, it was a mix of numerous 1960s vans. I saw design elements of the Dodge A-100, Ford Econoline, and various pre-1971 Chevy/GMC vans. I also saw hints of Volkswagen Bus in it as well.
In the animated films 'Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island' (1998) and 'Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost' (1999), the Mystery Machine is obviously a 1995 Chevrolet Astro or GMC Safari cargo van. It is easily identifiable as such because it has the streamlined headlamps of the 1996-newer models but the interior of the 1990-1994 models. This style was exclusive to 1995, as 1994-older models retained the original front fascia while 1996 models got a completely redesigned interior with dual airbags. For a cartoon, the dashboard and interior are incredibly well-detailed in my opinion.

Are the side doors original?

I don't think so. The hinges and handle are not standard Bedford parts I believe and the double doors rather narrow. A single hinged door 908mm (36in) wide was used as the side loading door.

Seems all locations were Aus so local build likely. Strange doors may therefore be not so strange???

...but its left hand drive as would be expected for the movie (unless there's some filming trickery?).
Did Australia also export LHD Bedfords to the Asia/Pacific markets?
