The red van - Bedford CF was marketed in Germany as Opel? |

No, the early ones as a Bedford (the only Bedford, which was ever available in Germany). The very few later ones, with the big plastic-grille, were sold with an Opel-badge. |

Wrong, Ingo. These early ones did indeed have an Opel-variant http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6133/5927556678_085f2b2040_z.jpg |

Those Bedford Blitz vans did appear to have a bit of a split personality being called Bedford Blitz with the Opel badge also in the centre of the bonnet... Early Bedford Blitz brochure issued by Adam Opel Ag http://www.bedfordcf.co.uk/br/br21_fc.jpg see small image lower right. (link updated) -- Last edit: 2015-06-21 19:03:40 |

Although they had an Opel-badge, by the VIN-numbers, so the GM-internal classification, which is deciding for the insurance- and TÜV-classification in Germany, it was always still a Vauxhall. So all of them are listed a Vauxhall. This is the reason, why my 2008 Vauxhall Vectra MkII is registrated as an Opel. Fortunately, because for exots -which a Vauxhall is in Germany- I have to chance to get an insurance-on-hull, not even at the insurance-company, I'm working in since over 20 years. |

What do you mean by insurance-on-hull? |

Then I guess that means Third Party, Fire and Theft in British parlance? |
