looking good, and a fresh MOT is always a nice thing to have! whats the logic in going back to a dynamo?

Just wanted to keep it as original as possible, weird I know but I like it as close to factory as possible even though alternator is better

Laminate on all the cabinets is in great shape, even the flooring is original and shows minor wear.

Really nice to see Simon.

Original seals removed and I'm pleased with the fit of the new seals, all the doors close nice and sit flush with the body

Nice steering wheel cover, where did you pick that up from ?

 

[Campmobile70]

Was already on the wheel when it came over from the States, my last few buses have had them.
