who cares if its only got a 202 in it. It started getting built when he was 15 years old. Its still an absolute masterpiece, this van has won so many trophies u could fill the back of it  up with them

BUGA!, BUGA!, BUGA! just spent my money on a hiab.
I have seen this van close up several times and it really is in top condition.
It would be a very hard decision to let this go. Overseas must be very tempting.

Just noted that 6 days to go and the current bid is $20,100.00

He has put a lot of thought into it, what i like is he has not cluttered it up with to many things. The eye can move over it without being distracted, pity it's being sold. If it runs smooth and has no hidden rust, then yep it is probably worth the cash. Guess this answers the poll that asked will beddy's go up in price. You can buy and enjoy, no work to do, that has to be worth something.  ;) ;D ;D ;D

any beddy is as awesome as the next, they r a great vehicle. Just some obviously have alot more spent on them.  This van in particular is just off the planet. Its taken my best mate 17 years to get it to this point. Its an extremely customized van and one worth every penny. But to the last comment i agree, ur van is still an awesome thing. For one reason. Its a bedford and there is nothing better than a beddy

Been checking out these 2 beautiful Bedfords on ebay.
The red one is currently on $21,000 while the white one is at $11,000 .( STILL BIDDING )
From my observations they both seem to be on par with eachother.
Just curious to know why ?

   Cheers .... Frank

can't believe Innocense only got $11,000 on its bids, one day to go with the red one, lets see how it ends, definately worth the money, i have seen both and they are as good as each other.

I think that the timing is bad.
Everyone is focused on Xmas and the upcoming Summernats.
I have tried to ring a few people I know would be interested, but their away or busy.
I would love either of them but especially the red one.I have tried to sell a few things to raise some cash but I get the same response.
If only I had known he intended to sell them.

As they say, timing is everything.

Ok my 2c worth, there is no doubt both vans are of very high standard, I personally see the problem as these are show vans, good for the 80's when vanning was at a high, today I feel a van needs to be able to be used and not kept under cover, I would pay 20.000+ for a van but only if was a fully rebuilt and was particle. As with the interior, I think Innocence is a little out dated and may need a refit to bring it up to date, but then someone may also like it the way it is. I guess in a way the auction supports my thoughts as RED got more interest as it still remains practical to be on the road and not just for show.

But hay, a credit to the person that built them, years later they are still here, not many vans can claim that title.................. ;)

My hat off to Glenn.
He has been a CF fan for many years and the red one is all his work.

The white one one has history with a high drama capital H.

For those that don't know the story, the van, on its maiden showing, was entered in the Rickshaws Hot Rod Show at the Carrington Woolstores in Newcastle, where it deservedly won a few trophies including top car of show. The Hot Rodders spat it and the trophies were taken back (Talk about a bunch of girls). I know from personal experience, that the story has been held up of as an example of poor sportmanship at other car shows. It also lead to significant changes in judging standards.
There was an oath that the van would never see the light of day again. It was parked in a shed and left there. Years later, Glenn tracked it down and over a long time talked the owner/builder into parting with it. He has restored it to the condition it was on that fateful day, probably even better.

The van is definitely low mileage and has a unique place in vanning history.

I dont and wasn't referring to the red van !! as you would have seen had you bothered to follow the conversation , and if you wanna start some thing then understand its just a f opinion right ??

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL ... HERE ILL FUCING SHOUT IT FOR YOU wanna sell something for 20k plus?? then don't leave an Ariel line hanging down DON'T video it with no indicator surround on it, or the wooden surround around the instrument cluster  why? because it looks tacky and unprofessional!! I get it I love the van too I wasnt knocking it Iv been in vaning just as long as James so I get it OK.
 
TELL me WHERE I SAID IT WASN'T WORTH THE MONEY?  READ WHAT WAS WAS POSTED NOT WHAT YOU INTERPRETED.

Now that feels better  ;) you forgot the Raidiator is also missing ??? It is also interesting the way they pan off to another van at the end when they are advertising this one.
