A 1978 Bedford Chevanne, which is one of only 12 remaining in the country, is to make its first outing of 2023 at Classics on Show.
The Chevanne, which started life as a parts delivery vehicle for a chain of Vauxhall/Bedford dealers in Scotland, was renovated a decade ago and is now owned by Stokesley resident Anthony Beaumont.
The Chevanne, a small commercial vehicle, was based on the GM T platform Vauxhall Chevette estate but unlike the Chevette has a flat rear floor, no rear seats, and panels in place of the side windows. It was introduced in September 1976 as a replacement for the Bedford HA. The Chevanne was later replaced by the Astravan before the HA was cancelled.
This year’s Show is now less than 3 weeks away and looks like being our best ever. Weather forecast is great, too. See you there!
