73 Crossover Tintop (Built Sept 72)

[silversurfer]

I bought this as a standard Danbury Camper 3 years ago, based on a Microbus so all windows are factory size, Calypso Campers interior,Recon engine, all running gear renewed, alternator, Webber carb,and more.
Being a 'Later' Early Bay, it has front disc brakes, very handy!! :lol:

Seats from Toyota MR2 (£43 the pair, on e-bay!)

Interior has carbon fibre style veneer units and checker plate vinyl floor with grey velour fabric. 3/4 rock and roll bed, mains hookup ,3way fridge,internal water supply with electric pump,2 burner hob,etc
The silver Venitian blinds round it off.

Got up early for Brighton Breeze, and beat every one there!!
Didn't take long for the others to turn up 8)

So far we have made it to all the UK meets, Classic Le Mans twice, Holland(Hoeven Dutch T2 Event) twice, driven through France to Northern Spain and back, Toured the East Coast of England (had to see Scarborough and Skegness :wink: ) and much more, great fun these buses :lol:

Next on the list, a Trailer??

Something like this I think,sprayed to match with empi wheels 8)


Cheers Tom&Sue

Those seats fit a treat, good call.

To date i've only been able to recommend Hyundai coupe or mx5 seats as a good fit modern chair, theres another for the list 8)

Hi Bruce
These MR2 seats have adjustable lumbar support, and seat hight/thigh adjustment.
After driving overnight to Spain I found I could still walk when I got out of the Bus!! (very useful when trying to find the nearest Bar )

Cheers Tom.
