IDRIVEACLASSIC reviews: 80s Bedford Bambi motorhome (Bedford Rascal/Suzuki Super Carry)
The Bambi was based on the Bedford Rascal and this meant that quality wasn’t just in the coach build, but in the mechanics too.
The little home on wheels had all the technology afforded to the Rascal including servo assisted disc front brakes with drums to the rear, rack and pinion steering, independent front suspension and leaf spring rear suspension, radial tyres and a 5 speed box as standard.
The engine, like the gearbox, was a one choice affair and it was a 970cc water cooled engine, hidden under the front seats as per the Rascal set up and boasted a power to weight ratio which was allegedly as good as many one ton class vehicles.
For me, going slightly off topic, the placement of the engine and everything under the seats is a massive turn off for working on problems wise, but he...

Bedford Rascal Money Pit
This camper is quickly becoming a money pit. Which is really big problem. In this video I am going to quickly explain why I haven't uploaded content in months and why it is going to be increasingly difficult to do so over the coming months. I am trying to overcome a hurdle which is holding me back. I am certain I will make it, but like everything, it takes time.
It's not over by a long shot, but it is going to take longer to accomplish.
Thanks for all your support, everyone!

The engine, like the gearbox, was a one choice affair and it was a 970cc water cooled engine, hidden under the front seats as per the Rascal set up and boasted a power to weight ratio which was allegedly as good as many one ton class vehicles.
For me, going slightly off topic, the placement of the engine and everything under the seats is a massive turn off for working on problems wise, but hey, with only 12 foot to work with, we’ve hardly got room to put it elsewhere.
The Bambi, like the Rascal also has a turning circle of 8.8 metres and a 36 litre fuel tank.
Interesting the Bedford Bambi was sold as being British built and quite a bit of fuss was made around this on promotional literature, but it wasn’t as simple as that!
The Rascal, sometimes called the Vauxhall Rascal as it was known as the 1990 brand rebadge was also built as the Suzuki Super Carry in Japan and it was also called the GME in other markets - basically GM decided to use the name which held the most recognition and appeal in the buying location.
However despite it not being an entirely British design as implied in promo material for the Bambi, it was British built and it was built in Luton England.
If you are watching this video after looking up the Suzuki Super Carry or wondering how it differs, it really is only different as front grille and lights. The Super Carry has two separate plastic head light surrounds and the Rascal as the Bambi is based on has a single full width grill with Bedford in the centre.
And finally, You’ve also probably noticed on the outside of the van, Disney Bambi stickers and these aren’t an after market fitment. In fact, the makers of the Bambi actually used the name Bambi under license from Disney, which I’ve not heard Disney do with any other automotive manufacturer.

SOLD - SIMILAR ALWAYS REQUIRED PLEASE CALL 01733 425140
Thinking of selling? Our proven commission sale or SOR (Sale or Return) program is a great way to utilise and access our professional services and facilities while still maximising the return from your vehicle with minimal hassle, stress and time, If you’d like to take advantage of this then please get in touch for further information. Alternatively If you’d like to move your vehicle on quickly and efficiently with minimal delay then we can make an offer on an outright purchase basis with payment and collection arranged soon after.
Probably the best existing Bedford Rascal Van with just 15,525 miles from new.
EQUIPMENT
All-steel welded integral construction, right and left hand sliding side-loading doors, bodyside protection trim, laminated windscreen, 2-speed windscreen wipers, electric screenwash, twin door mirrors, twin tailgate struts, locking fuel filler, front and rear mud flaps, high back reclining seats, hinge-down glove box, door map pockets, cab interior light, load compartment lamp, 3-speed fan, twin sunvisors, cab entry assist handles, cigar lighter, full length headlining, cab rubber floor covering. Factory options; Radiomobile push button stereo, tailgate wash wipe, heated rear window.
EXTERIOR
This outstanding Bedford Rascal van is simply the epitome of timewarp and any other connotation of something that defies the age of time! These original Vauxhall and Bedford light vans are virtually extinct in any form, let alone in such incredibly preserved condition. Finished in its factory coating of Cargo Blue (code DOM), the paintwork boasts a deep polished shine. The underside is clean and free from excess underseal to allow inspection to reveal just how well preserved this example is. Original features such as the supplying dealer number plates, mud flaps and rear screen sticker remain fitted. Having covered a mere 15,525 miles and used as a florist’s delivery van, this surely has to be the most privileged and cossetted Rascal in existence! Despite the tiny dimensions, an impressive capacity of 93.6cu.ft and maximum load of 625kg.
INTERIOR
The interior of this remarkable example is virtually perfect and exactly as a Rascal should be. The Basalt Grey Twill cloth seat trim (code 821) is unmarked and completely free from wear, as is the matching colour scheme Basalt Grey vinyl door trim. The full length headlining is flawless. The original rubber floor covering can be lifted easily to inspect the cab floor which is incredibly well preserved, as are the usually rust prone front steps and inner arches. The fascia and switchgear are as new and all functions and controls operate seamlessly including the Radiomobile stereo. The only imperfection detectable is light scratches to the inside of the passenger window glass. The rear load area has clearly seen very little use and the two keepers have been careful to preserve the load floor with plastic sheeting, wooden boarding and even a fitted carpet to prevent damage!
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The simple and robust four cylinder 970cc engine develops 45bhp to achieve a top speed of 73mph. This wonderful little engine offers simplicity and economy with both seats easily tilted to allow complete access to the engine compartment which is spotlessly clean with all stickers and plates intact, and even the yellow PDI dots on the strut top bolts remain. The original jack and wheel brace are correctly stored in the engine compartment. The five speed gearbox is light and precise.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The standard 4B x 12 steel wheels in factory light grey are remarkable. Manufacturer stampings are clearly defined on these unrestored rims and only minor age related markings can be seen, left untreated to retain originality. Five matching branded 155 R12C reinforced tyres have masses of tread remaining. Dual circuit servo assisted brakes feature 215mm front discs and 220mm rear drums.
HISTORY FILE
Supplied new by GM Bedford Main Dealers, Welch Van and Trucks of Bristol, this example was registered new on 1st September 1989 to first owner Mr Ivor Wheeler. He kept the vehicle until June 1993 when the second and only other keeper Mrs Betty Hawkins took ownership where it has remained ever since. It has been used as a florist’s delivery vehicle and photos in the history file show the van loaded up with its lightweight flowery cargo! Unusual for such a low mileage example, the history file is very comprehensive with the original service booklet displaying eight stamped entries, the most recent including a cambelt change with supporting invoice. Furthermore, absolutely every MOT from the first to present has been kept to fully document the amazingly low 15,525 miles, along with a large collection of invoices.
The original vehicle literature wallet houses all handbook, supplements and radio guide. Completing the history file is two sets of keys with supplying dealer fob.
HPI Clear.

Original features such as the supplying dealer number plates, mud flaps and rear screen sticker remain fitted. Having covered a mere 15,525 miles and used as a florist’s delivery van, this surely has to be the most privileged and cossetted Rascal in existence! Despite the tiny dimensions, an impressive capacity of 93.6cu.ft and maximum load of 625kg.
INTERIOR
The interior of this remarkable example is virtually perfect and exactly as a Rascal should be. The Basalt Grey Twill cloth seat trim (code 821) is unmarked and completely free from wear, as is the matching colour scheme Basalt Grey vinyl door trim. The full length headlining is flawless. The original rubber floor covering can be lifted easily to inspect the cab floor which is incredibly well preserved, as are the usually rust prone front steps and inner arches. The fascia and switchgear are as new and all functions and controls operate seamlessly including the Radiomobile stereo. The only imperfection detectable is light scratches to the inside of the passenger window glass. The rear load area has clearly seen very little use and the two keepers have been careful to preserve the load floor with plastic sheeting, wooden boarding and even a fitted carpet to prevent damage!
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The simple and robust four cylinder 970cc engine develops 45bhp to achieve a top speed of 73mph. This wonderful little engine offers simplicity and economy with both seats easily tilted to allow complete access to the engine compartment which is spotlessly clean with all stickers and plates intact, and even the yellow PDI dots on the strut top bolts remain. The original jack and wheel brace are correctly stored in the engine compartment. The five speed gearbox is light and precise.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The standard 4B x 12 steel wheels in factory light grey are remarkable. Manufacturer stampings are clearly defined on these unrestored rims and only minor age related markings can be seen, left untreated to retain originality. Five matching branded 155 R12C reinforced tyres have masses of tread remaining. Dual circuit servo assisted brakes feature 215mm front discs and 220mm rear drums.
HISTORY FILE
Supplied new by GM Bedford Main Dealers, Welch Van and Trucks of Bristol, this example was registered new on 1st September 1989 to first owner Mr Ivor Wheeler. He kept the vehicle until June 1993 when the second and only other keeper Mrs Betty Hawkins took ownership where it has remained ever since. It has been used as a florist’s delivery vehicle and photos in the history file show the van loaded up with its lightweight flowery cargo! Unusual for such a low mileage example, the history file is very comprehensive with the original service booklet displaying eight stamped entries, the most recent including a cambelt change with supporting invoice. Furthermore, absolutely every MOT from the first to present has been kept to fully document the amazingly low 15,525 miles, along with a large collection of invoices.
The original vehicle literature wallet houses all handbook, supplements and radio guide. Completing the history file is two sets of keys with supplying dealer fob.
HPI Clear.
