It'll be a 68/69 probably sometime after august 68 i'd imagine! don't know exactly when they changed over.
You plan to fit them, or are they surplus?

 

[ant]

Was going to fit them and bin the eyebrows..... will let you know


Sorry for the thread jack by the way

Hi, The van is Nov 68 as i've tracked down the 1st owner who in tern sent me some pictures. The door handles have small triggers on them and as far as i can see from the early pictures the wipers are original, I recently took them off and got them re-chromed.
The headlight grilles came from a company called Rampantparts off e-bay and cost £10 they are a real pig to fit as you need about 6 pairs of hands, one problem is they have started to rust and need loads of cleaning but I have seen stainless ones on e-bay for £15. So chuffed to get the picture on as i've been looking at this site since i got the camper (March last year). Thank for your replies

Good to finally get some more pictures up, just have to figure out how to make them smaller.

Making memories

Looks very tidy inside matey. It's exactly the same as my old van's interior. Does the seat above the easy cooler slide out towards the cooker?

 

[SteveGTU]

Yes it just pulls out and the leg untucks which is great for sitting on while cooking, the cupboards above the back seat need stripping down which i'll do during the winter when I fit my rear window. Trying to finish off the house first which includes building a garage in the front garden for Gerty.
