Back in the 1970s General Motors turned its popular Vauxhall Chevette estate into a panel van, sticking a Bedford Chevanne badge on the back. It was to be the forerunner to the Astravan. Although not as big a seller as the ubiquitous Bedford HA (1964-1982), it did become a common sight on the UK’s roads. By the mid-90s, some 15 years after production ceased, there were still 1,061 on the road. But time has not been kind to the Chevanne, and today there are only six left.
The HA has fared only slightly better, with some 79 examples still in existence.
