- In this hefty length of a resurrection special I tackle a true retro icon, a Japanese designed GM Vauxhall/Bedford Rascal Van!
Sat for 13 years with no hope of a future I get my hands dirty making sure this thing will live on. If you liked this video why not check out a couple of the others on my channel and consider subscribing, I sure would appreciate it.

Years ago one of these was used daily to run from leicester to birmingham whole sale loaded to the rafters with fruit/veg always reliable they simply do not make them like this anymore engines are bullet proof this deserves to be fully restored regardless of expense👍.
It aint running on all 4 pots
OMG that brings back so many memories. I bought a Bedford Rascal from new back in 1989 for my carpet cleaning business. I loved that little van it was such fun to drive. I’ve had much more expensive and sophisticated vehicles since then but the little Rascal is still one of my all time favourites.
That WTF moment at the inhuman foot angle was pure comedy gold. Me and the wife couldn't stop laughing, we noticed it too, just moments before the "wtf"
how did you manage to drive it on the road with no tax or test or anything
You lock the choke off by turning the knob clockwise.
What ever happened to this little rascal Ben.
I'd give that friend of yours a wide berth next time he calls, or accidentally on purpose drop the phone in a bucket of 10w/40. But seriously, your hard work has paid off, this Rascal has been transformed, you can hardly see any holes now, it's positively indistinguishable from new, I think most came with rust as standard from the factory! 😁
Buddy i dont think that match box has much rust i just think it has A LOT of weight reduction in all the wrong places :-)
My late grandfather and that side of the family had a fleet of these under the Bedford guise as milk-floats when I was a kid, I've always wanted a rascal van. I've got a picture on my desk of him stood proudly next to his rascal freshly washed! Love this, keep it up.
One of the most satisfying power washings I have seen in a while. Thank you!
Best 1 hour 55mins and 15 seconds I have spent on a Sunday morning in the last 15 years 😁😁
I was a pest control officer and dog warden for a local council in Herefordshire in 1986 and they asked me to pick a suitable vehicle for the job, I chose the Rascal and really enjoyed driving it. I also owned a Suzuki 410 too. I watched the whole video and enjoyed every minute.
Loved this, there were a batch of Rascals that were turned into a promotional huge fibreglass creme egg for use by Cadbury back in the 90s.
Just found your channel, you're a natural at this, very entertaining to watch. As for the little van, I'd love to watch you get it welded up and through an MOT!
My dad had one of these which he loved very much!☺️
I have a soft spot for these vans. Drove one for a firm in the early 90’s. Loved it. Called it the puddle jumper 😂.
Wonderful video and project vehicle. I think the appeal of these vehicles is their simplicity. I had a 1990 Ford Festiva - it wasn't the best car I've ever owned, but it was one of those cars that always put a smile on your face driving it. It was like a go-kart. It could go anywhere because it was so tiny. The room inside was amazing. I miss that car. Discovered your channel this past week and love it!
Gonna watch this tonight but I used to have a Bedford rascal and loved it, it used to fit between the old bollards you used to get all over England, very handy lil vans.....👌👍
That is brilliant. I'd forgotten all about the Vauxhall Rascal. The vehicle of choice for many tradesmen in the 90's. I'd love to see a full restoration on this - lovely
