Ladies and gents I have decided to sell my van due to personal reason. The van has been a labour of love and I have worked hard to get the setup on the van correct. I have built it so that it will drive on the motorway at 70mph with no problems. The design has allowed it to run in the summer fully laden with three kids and camping kit and not get hot. If you look up my thread you will see all the work and problem solving that has gone into this van. Lots of people have contacted me in regards to complete the same kind of project few have started or finished. It is hard to comprehend the work involved in getting this to work right. I’m sure its not to everyone taste as its water cooled but if you are looking for something different then this is the van for you. There is still plenty of room to make your own mark
 
Bad bits
The paint work is starting to look shabby in some places and I have several replace panels to stitch in at some point if the van doesnt sell.
 
This van is priced at a price I think it worth, trust me I spent plenty on it. If you don’t like the price then don’t buy it.
 
Due to my work and family commitments I’m only after serious buyer not test pilots.
 
£17K
 
Thanks for your opinions in advance.

Sounds like your having it bad pal good luck with the sale

sounds a bargin 42 mpg wow

In the summer took did a 1000 mile round trip to the lakes, it pulls like a train in all gears and still gets a good return on fuel even at 70mph, afterall it has the aero dynamic of a bread bin.

Might be good to get some bang up to date pics of the Bus so people can see what it looks like today, and of course your dedicated work on the engine, a real task and well executed.

Pictures will be added, once the front bumpers come back from the painters

wheels to be refurb too

Bumpers painted, however once its finished snowing will post some pictures

Sounds like a interesting van.

Hi
If you don't sell the van or if anybody has a TDI conversion please call 07966506444

just spent the last few hours making sure the i's are dotted and the t's crossed

New owners arrive on sunday, sad day!!

Sorry to ask a question about your beloved bus when you are just about to see it go, but, where did you source the heated front safaris?

I'm sure i bought them off this forum several years ago.

Van has now gone
