The Bedford CF was a light commercial vehicle produced between 1969 and 1986 by Bedford in Luton. Replacing the CA model in 1969, the CF was designed to rival the Ford Transit which had been in production since 1965.

The vehicle could be specified with a sliding door in the side panel and with other body styles including a Dormobile (a caravanette) and a general-purpose chassis onto which custom-built bodies or beds could be built, like the minibus.

By the mid-1980s the CF was on its third incarnation having received a facelift in 1980 and mechanical upgrades in 1984. The CF Electric was introduced in 1982 and was the first mass-produced electrically powered vehicle based on a fossil fuel platform. Production ceased in 1987 after some success selling the model to government agencies, the Royal Mail and local authorities, as battery technology was not advancing fast enough to justify the price tag.
