One key fits ignition and all doors except engine hatch which has seperate key.
Gear change is tight and easy.
Sympathetically coverted from walkthrough and would easily convert back leaving no trace if desired.
Interior is modular. Kitchen as one piece, rear furniture as 3 pieces that can be removed whole reasonably easily.

Rear floor had rotted from the INSIDE by water trapped under the rear wood floor after the slider fell off over in the US. This was replaced with genuine floor halves. The top hats and I beams were just dandy though.

Someone who viewed the van today was surprised at how much "character" it has. I think he was looking for one to make straight and shiney TBH.
I did post up pics from every angle but for the avoidance of doubt, when I decided to buy a bus (this bus) I was looking for one that had been used and abused but wasn't rusty. Patina that's easy to live with. I was particularly pleased with the front panel. lol The spare is on after I was very lucky not to be stranded in the middle of nowhere and lost my nerve, not to cover the dent, though it does sadly hide it a bit.

So here's the front panel as I bought the bus. Best pics I can find.
