In my quest to find out how many Devon Sunlanders were originally produced, a couple of months ago, I had a letter published by the Sidmouth Herald, the local paper nearest the old Devon factory, and yesterday out of the blue I received a letter from a Mr Pat Mitchell who still lives in the...

Hi Ali Good to hear there's another bus owner in the area. Not that many around. You been in Inverurie with it recently ? It looks familiar - think I may have seen it outside G M Garage Services a few weeks ago possibly ? I'll be showing Heidi at the "How Many Left ? Show at Grampian Transport...

Hi Martello Great to hear from another Sunlander owner. Got any pics ? Just had a letter about my Sunlander search published in the latest issue of Camper & Commercial Mag so hopefully that will generate any other owners to make contact. That's 10 we've got now. The revised 'unofficial'...

Well didn't get any response to this thread in the 'General' section so hopefully 'Gallery' watchers can come up with some info. As many of you will know the Devon Sunlander conversion was only produced in very limited numbers for one year only in 1971 and despite loads of research via various...

As any owners of the Devon Sunlander will know, this conversion was only produced in limited numbers for one year only in 1971 and despite loads of research via various sources over the past few years I have been unable to determine how many Sunlanders were produced at the time and more...

Getting Heidi ready for her winter hibernation, removed all the cushions & curtains before putting her cover on. The replacement plastic curtain hooks I fitted earlier in the year are a real pain as they don't 'hold' the curtain header tape and come off too easily when you don't want them to ...

My son Andrew who is a graphic designer & digital drafter recently gave me this print of Heidi as a birthday present. Delighted with it ! He has set up a little sideline offering these prints in various sizes and of virtually any car. Have a look under the Non Early Bay For Sale section for...

As I've mentioned above, I have stored the original interior including all the orange fabric/black vinyl cushions in my loft apart from the overhead cupboard & wardrobe which I've retained in the bus.Have a look at my original post for photos of what it all looks like.

Oh what a plonker ! Need to get a bit more computer savvy when it comes to this forum stuff. Meant to update this thread but have started a new one by mistake , see the 'Update' for what's been happening to Heidi over the past 2 years.

Well it's been a couple of years since I made my first attempt at posting on the forum and a lot has happened with Heidi since then. Now I know from the comments made 2 years ago by you purists & originalists ( is that a real word ??) you advised retaining the original orange Sunlander interior...
