I can't find out jack about the old CF bedfords.
Does anyone know for sure what year we got them with the 173 low comp and when and why did the 202 high come come in was it ADR27A.
1971 to 1979 maybe.

I have the parts catalogues here plus ordering procedures for them. I'll have a better look for you later, but 173 low comp wer ethe earlier stuff (like 1974 era) and later were 202 high comp (like 1978). I think you'll find the change was due to availability of standard petrol. |

I found a 7/73 CF brochure for 18, 20 and 35cwt. 18 and 20cwt are 106" wheelbase, 35cwt is 126". Engine was a CE prefix 173ci 112hp low comp. Gearboxes were aussie 3spd (std on 106"), aussie 4spd (std on 126") or trimatic (opt on 106"). From memory both manual boxes use an aussie 4spd shifter which is floor mounted.
I also have a 2/75 ordering procedure which shows 4 x models:
97360 (106" cab chassis) 18cwt.
97370 (106" van) 18cwt.
97760 (126" cab chassis) 35cwt.
97770 (126" van) 35cwt.
8 x options:
A61 auxilliary one passenger stationary seat.
AK3 single passenger seat belt.
E47 LH hinged door, RH sliding.
E85 door cargo side.
E92 doors hinged front.
M40 trimatic
P43 wheel 5.5 x 14 5 stud
R27 tyre 8 x 14 - 6p/r (20cwt payload).
Colours: Glacier White, Coast Ivory, Woodsman Green, Turnpike Red, Turnpike Yellow.

I have later parts catalogues somewhere as well which show the 202 HC engine, and from memory there were more models as well as more colours and options. |
