Hi all,

This is our 1973 Bedford CF "Trevor", which hadn't been driven for 5 years and was in a sorry state when we acquired it. We got it on the road and eventually used it as our honeymoon vehicle, touring the south coast. It took a long time to get it from its old self to the multicoloured van we have now!! We painted it using Rustoleum Combicolour and very small rollers, handpainting some sections.

More info on our blog: http://trevorthevan.blogspot.com/

Cheers
Kath

PS we are adding a new element to the van each year - this year's addition is a beach ball. Any ideas on what should come next? (I'm keen on a hot air balloon)

Love the paint

I love the artwork on your van, it makes it truly unique. Much better than the decals we keep looking at on ebay but our drawing/painting abilities are non existent. I love the name too. Keep trying to think of a name for our van but nothing springs to mind. Going to have a read of your blog now.
