Carfan....why are you so sure it is a CF van?

I have serious doubts that it is a CF..... even considering they would have changed the front grill, headlights and wheelarches.

The position of the door handle on the (slam) door looks wrong, being about 2 to 3 inches below the belt line. The Bedford CF's handle was almost directly under the belt line. I was responsible for designing the facelift handle back in the 1970s and remember it's location. I doubt anyone trying to disguise the van would change the handle position. It would be too difficult as it directly contacts the door latch (not through a linkage).

Also the wrap-around at the windscreen/windshield 'A' pillar looks wrong for a CF. In my opinion this is not a CF van.

..The van used in the film is a Bedford CF.! (..modified... but still a CF) ..as suspected ..I thought this film was made in Australia .. and have just checked the IMDB ..and it was a USA/Australian production.

The CF was imported/assembled in Australia and/or New Zealand. The pictures I can find of Australian CF vans look no different to UK made vans. However I can see so many minor differences, even for a disguised vehicle, that these make me think this is not a CF.

I guess until better pictures can be found I can only say that I am not convinced this is even a heavily re-worked CF.

My conclusion...they used more than one vehicle for the movie or publicity purposes.

Here is another I found on a web-site, (similar to a video I also found).

This is a CF van! Handle position and front side window are correct. In the "other" van shots I have seen the door handle is positioned lower (also looks to be on a recessed panel) and there is a fixed quarter-lite in the front door glass which does not appear on a CF van.

It would be good to get some shots from the actual movie.

Over the weekend I managed to record a few minutes of the movie onto Video tape. The quality isn't that good but I does prove the movie uses a CF van.

The first picture, shown on this thread, has square-flush headlamps not found on the CF, and it has two horizontal slots at the rear of the hood/bonnet which don't appear on a CF. In addition to the door handle position mentioned before the CF has an almost flat area just above the grill whereas the other vehicle (which is also probably GM) slopes back almost immediately.

I think there are definitely two vehicles used. One is a Beford CF, the other is a larger Chevrolet G-Series van.

I agree Chevrolet G-(something), short wheel base van. I will add the Bedford CF van as a separate listing.

Later on in the series, I thought that they changed the VW Buse to an Econoline or Ram Van or was it earlier in the series, anyway I'm sure the VW bus wasn't the only Mistery Machine, and I can't tell why they didn't use a VW for the movie.

In the later cartoon movies, they used a early '90s Caravan C/V.

Are you sure it was a caravan? It looked more like a chevrolet Astro van.

That van is a Bedford thing. The original Mystery Machine was a Chevy/GMC "breadloaf" thing.

Just to confuse you all more, I think it is a Ford Transit modified to look like a Chevy or Bedford. They were once common on Australian roads. The front styling is probably to look like a Chevy because it was filmed in Australia but supposed to be set in USA

valiant1962, although the van is similar to a Mk.I Transit it cannot be based on this vehicle - even if it were heavily modified.

The roof on the 'Scooby Doo' van has a separate one-piece roof pressed panel with a seam over the windshield. The Transit is without this seam and it is combined with the windshield surround. Anyone modifying or customising the van is unlikely to actually add a weld seam in this position. The Chevy and Bedford vans however do have this seam at the front of the roof.

And thus, It is a Bedford. Chevies don't have round fenders like that.

The picture is a 1970 Chevrolet G-10! (the door handles & fenders should be a clue), not a Bedford! OK,they do use a Bedford on a couple of shots on the movie, but that doesn't make it a Bedford.

And,70'-96'Chevy Vans do have round fenders.
