:cry: Now sold to a very nice woman from Norwich, lower price than I'd have liked but needed to get back to France sharpish! Have to be sensible about cars for a while but there are some very nice early lhd westies to be had around here...hopefully won't be long. In the meantime keeping it...

Thanks for that Doug. I have a couple of people down here in France who are keen but need to sell first. I'm sure this is a good price but, unfortunately, I can't afford to be too patient hence invitation for offers :(

Come on...open to offers, have to sell due to personal circumstances. Will get a full MOT once I'm back in UK.

Now £6,400 ono...back in the UK for viewing next weekend

Bloke who offered the asking price has failed to come up with any cash so here's a shameless bump! I need to sell pretty quickly so don't be shy...

Thanks for doing that with the pics Brian- I couldn't get the image bit to work!

Feeling well sad but all other avenues have been explored and I'm selling my van. 1972 Danbury tintop with a good, original interior. PM me with your email address for pics and proper details. I think £6,800 would be about right but am prepared to haggle and might consider a modern part ex +...

I live near Toulouse and would agree with lots that has already been said. In particular the Bilbao ferry is well worth a look, you could do Atlantic coast, Pyrenees and then the Languedoc coast of the Med which are all far cheaper and less busy than the Nice and Cannes area. They are a lot...

A bloke called Cyrille who lives near me turned up at a local vintage car rally on Sunday in this van- he describes it as his Kombi Cabriolet. Not an early bay but still 8) Not sure I'd do the same if I had a splitty but I'd love to take it to a SSVC meeting!

Not a good time to be buying in Euros. Their vans were priced higher than a private deal but reasonably given their reputation- then the pound collapsed. Exchange rates mean you're paying 40% more than you would have a year ago when you buy from Europe, I live in France and a pair of jeans from...

All jobs can turn evil suddenly :evil: Price we pay for elderly bolts, cables, panels etc. Most recent horror was trying to fit a sliding window the morning before setting off for a cross channel ferry- ENORMOUS HORROR CAUSED BY OWN STUPIDITY!

Thanks for that both of you. Sounds like prices haven't really dropped so my new project might be on the cards, still can't decide for sure though!

I'm after a bit of help- With being abroad I'm not up to speed with current prices and might be selling my van in order to go for a LHD (makes more sense here). I know you can never be exact but what would be a realistic price for a 72 tintop Danbury in decent nick? It is mostly stock with all...

The AA might refuse to give you continental cover, if they do join Britannia Rescue and get the extended cover for Europe. I cooked my engine in the middle of France and got 4 nights in a hotel for me+ wife and two kids, scheduled flights home, hire car to use while they tried to sort the van...

After each set of track listings it says "here" in a small font. Click on that, then click on proceed to rapidshare and then click on the left dial for free download, then click on download. Should do the trick- it took me about 5 minutes to download each one but I've had two days of quality...

If it is true that lots of van owners are like me and enjoy a bit of reggae then you might fancy a look at this- http://magicofjuju.blogspot.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; There are about 7 CDs worth of old Studio One singles to download free and then listen to in your van...

A lot are on http://www.vwshows.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but it doesn't have all the smaller ones. For French ones try http://www.combicruiserclub.fr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; nearer the time. You have to register to have a look but there are some...

Toulouse swap meet at Balma on March 7th- organised by the mighty Nostalgia Skirts Raisers. May 30th Catalan VW Classics at Argeles near a beach on the Med 8)

Thanks for the advice everybody- been very lucky with my aircooled vehicles and haven't had to do this before. I have had damage repaired to two normal cars and in both cases got what I thought were totally unnnecessary full resprays which were done by "recommended" repair centres. Makes you...
