credit crunch? Don`t think so

[scott wilson]

people still seem prepared to pay good money for good vans...if i had spare cash at the moment i`d be bidding on this little gem of a dormie

Corrosion to Front Panel, Doors & Rear Corners that needs attention in the near future.
Hammocks are original – once has tear and needs repairing or replacing
A slight water leak from sink waste that needs sealing
Fitted with CD player, but does not have a permanent live feed and only plays cd’s, (possible that just needs an aerial to play tuner, but buyer ought to consider replacing the stereo for a better model as this is quite dated)

Doesn't quite seem the bargain it appears at £7800 with nearly 5 days to go. It's the sort of van that will need money chucking at it in the near future. I see these vans all the time & just feel smug at how solid mine is.

Hope the winning bidder went to see it before winning. Reminds me of someone I know...me! http://www.steve-brown.co.uk/gurtie. Not even got an original Dormobile interior either...

Rust is the biggest problem. It costs a fortune to put right.

Any amateur DIYer could cobble an interior together if they really had to.

It takes time & skill to restore the body.

I'm thinking the same as you I may put Hank onto ebay and see what happens, was holding off till dubfreeze but if theres people out there with the money

Have a go & see what happens.

Mine might be going on Wednesday, I have taken a big hit on the price, but am just gonna let it go. I will have to see what happens. Hopefully all will be well. I actually drove it today just to test it out. It all seemed to be ok.
