Loving this. VW's are SOOOOOOO overpriced and this is way cooler! There need to be more old campers/vans around. Is this tax free, cos that is deffo the way forward! Whats the point of paying for a years road tax when you only get a few weekends use out of it?!? Gotta find me a tax free one!!

Yeah, but would it fit without major fettling? 64impala on used to have one of these and he was keen to put a Senator lump and auto 'box in it, hiding the gear selecter under the dash. I thought that was a pretty cool idea. Did you ever the see the grey one in Retro Cars? That was the shizzle. Grey one with yellow lenses and Volvo B-Series lump? The owner's on here somewhere... *n |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Am a bit late for the party here, but love 'Chloe'.. Bin the signwriting and - if you're serious about using it on the motorways - sort the mechanicals out. I had a '72 Commber Highwayman and it was awesome apart from the low gearing. 1725cc engines are easy to get bits for but I was v tempted to go for a Carlton/Senator RWD auto set up for 80mph cruising. Alternatively what about a quick diesel like a Merc Sprinter engine and box transplant?
In the meantime that Number overdrive sounds good. Mine did 50mph on the motorway at a push. Mind you, it was matt black with red steels, dome caps and teeth drawn on the front grille.

Did you ever the see the grey one in Retro Cars? That was the shizzle. It's lovely. Owned by an artist down where my parents live in Devon, I spent more time nosing around it than looking around his gallery  I'd love one, or a Ford 400E Thames |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

A Commer PB van....
I used to work on these as an apprentice in the early 80s
I hated them then, I must of mellowed - looking good.
The sump gasket generally leaks from the front or back, it has a cork gasket which absolutely refuses to stay in place while you jiggle the sump past the steering idler.
A horrible horrible job.
