1989 Bedford Rascal review from UK and Ireland
"Every one should have at least one of these!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
These Vans are a fantastic buy. They are good fun to drive and nippy round town as well as being very cheap to run.
You can fit an incredible amount in the back and park them anywhere you could fit an old mini.
Totally reliable and very useful little van.
Mine will do 70 if pushed, but is happiest at 50 for long journeys. I recommend taking your time and enjoying the ride.
If you are looking to buy one of these make sure you get a good one, look after it and it will give you good service for many years.
