This is Bijou, a 1965 Bedford CA Martin Walter Dormobile Debonair Camper Van bought in April 2007 by Barspeed.
She has given her owner all of the usual trials and tribulations you would expect from a classic dormobile, from electrical and mechanical problems to water leaks – all great fun! To quote her owner “Oh well, what else could go wrong?”
Bijou has her own blog website where you can read all about her adventures, you can visit it here: Bijou The Bedford.

Bedford was one of the most popular manufacturers to receive the Martin Walter conversion, the first being the Bedford CA. This was so popular that the general public still refer to the cars as Bedford Dormobiles, mistakenly thinking it was Bedford themselves that offered it as a model.
If you have a Bedford Dormobile conversion, either the CA, CF, HA or later models, we would love to hear from you and will gladly publish your stories and pictures on your own dedicated page here in our readers rides section. Just Email us at: rides@dormobile-cars.com
