OH MY GOD.............. just 3 miles from home and I think I have found my Bay, viewed this evening :-

1971
RHD
One owner from new (all the paperwork present :shock: )
Pop-Top (2 + 2 Danbury Conversion) 8)
Sierra Yellow over White :roll:
MOT July 2nd >
Spare Wheel Brand new
Started on the key -no foot required
Downside - I don't like the Chintz Curtains & Floral Lino ,
seriously though side window rubbers/rear door/engine bay door rubber's
are dried out/cracked , steel wheels need prepping/painting , one or two
tiny rust bubbles on the o/s of gutter's - maybe a new Pop-Top seal but otherwise I can't believe it at 38 years old (no welding -nuffink).

Well happy..........JIM.

Thats good news Jim

I've just spent the last 2 hours trying to work out where the hell i would put all my stuff thats in the garage at the moment to try and fit my new aquisition in and i've come to the conclusion that at the moment its going to have to stand on the drive under a cover, then will hopefully downsize and be ruthless and chuck some stuff away :roll: so we can get it in there for the winter, (anyone want to buy a cooker and dishwasher :? )

Try a Boot Sale (just tell the wife - they love 'em), that should thin it out
a bit , and those assemble yourself plastic garden storage cupboards chests
if you have a back sideway to the house -lose it in them .Get your new priorities sorted mate.......... :lol: Cheers -JIM.

 

[matt-me]

Well done boys. Been following your quest and you both seem to have approached it the right way.

Welcome also Jim to the way of the Danbury, an underated conversion in my opinion. Off camping with mine tomorrow, fully laden, three kids, bikes, awning, wife...

Enjoy and good luck

Well done both - I've (hopefully) got another van to view this weekend - still looking though and I don't know if it's me but there seems to be less of them out there every time I miss out on one!

Thank's - and keep going mate you will find one, have you tried Dubs4sale.com ? , seems to be a range of budget's and some earlybays.

Regards -JIM.
