The Split Screen Van Club

Thanks for the replies. Fortunately, we're not in such a bad position as a good number of people I'm aware of, but that doesn't make it much better. I've written to the administrator/liquidator to ask about any paperwork associated with the 'shells', waiting to hear back, but not with any optimism....

You’re not alone, I got a response on FB, as soon as I have details I’ll pass them on.

Hi, The image doesn't show for me, so I can't comment on that. But as Dougie said, paperwork and how complete it is would be the key. Was it complete? Is it missing stuff now? Very tricky. Maybe contact the landlord, and see what the storage costs would be. Might be reasonable and give you more tim...

Gutted for you, but it looks like you are not alone, can the liquidators not put you in direct contact with the other owners and the landlord and arrange between you a reasonable price for storage while you sort yourselves out? If I was anywhere near Blackpool I’d sort it out for you but I’m not, an...

Spoke to the DVLA, tax disc on its own isn’t evidence it was on that vehicle, need an mot or something like that. Gutted. :cry: What difference is a tax disc or MOT ?

Sweet find, needs to be put back in the window once complete

Don’t worry it will be!

Amazing what you find down the front panel!

Hopefully this will be enough for the DVLA!

Thanks G, although it was already languishing, unloved in the corner of a barn in the 80s. Keep looking though.

Now to order a few panels

Also sorted the cab doors.

It's been a while but we're making progress, Dave's been at the load bed and bulk head so we can see what needs doing underneath.
