I seem to remember it could be called also the Bedford Beagle Van, as confirmed by workshop manuals etc. But Wikipedia reserves Beagle for the Dormobile type caravan conversion. Can anyone confirm it was applied to Vauxhall/Bedford's actual van range? -- Last edit: 2014-06-25 12:23:11

I think you're right, a windowed version of the HA van.....Beagle was probably an actual Bedford model rather than being sold as a Dormoblie conversion (although it used Dormobile parts).
