    Replacement engine

And great if all you've got to burn is off the van floor - some receipts, a sandwich wrapper and the bag the doughnuts were in :) I don't know much about the roof as it was on when...

    This is Vera. I've owned her since 1997 - got her when I was 26 and I'm 46 now. She's seen me on a few adventures :) She's a Devon Moonraker with original interior.

    1971 Devon Moonraker - My first VW Camper

    Mine's a '71 Moonraker, but the previous owner put a slightly later replacement canvas on it. So... the canvas won't always tell you!
