Title: Bedford Beige
Post by: atk1 on January 02, 2011, 06:00:57 AM

Hi guys, does anyone have a photo showing a Bedford with the original beige colour (as my profile pic) in new or repainted condition? Hoping it might be in one of those old brochure things...
Cheers

G'day

CFs came in white, white, and white.
There were bright colours such as red, green and blue and other colours (such as company colours) as special orders, but were very rare. I suggest that if the paint job is original, then it is one of the latter type.

Regards

Oh? Interesting...I know of another van 30mins away from me with its recent 2nd owner, mint and exact same colour as mine. Also saw a CF2 same colour 3 days ago. No worries now as I have my new colour in mind...

they did come out in light colours, beige, baby blue (pale blue) etc, think it was only the mk2 that was limited in colours.

I had a beige van way back then, and a blue one

Checked the old girl out in the panel shop 2day. After being sanded back its a very different shade than my profile pic. Way more bright yellowish. The right rear window hole is being filled in to accommodate some artwork and in a day or 2 shes going Devil Yellow from the Holden Monaro. Its a colour for business purposes. Lucky Ive got 2 more vans to choose other colours lol
What do you guys think for mags? Ive got mint Tridents (Jellybeans I think you Aussies call em?) or Turbos to add more black & break up the Yellow? It will have all black tinted windows except the right side rear aswell

If you are going the yellow of the monaro, why not look at the wheels that are on the monaro. I normally like classic, but with that yellow, i think those wheels, and maybe a bit of yellow pinstripe to bind the 2. Make sure you give us plenty of pics of the respray.
