As the title says, I'm looking for a 1971 model year, rhd tintop with twin sliding doors. I'm after a project so absolutely any non/bearly mot'd condition considered, full bus or bare shell.

I MAY have a twin slider tin top born on 1/1/1972 for sale. It is a half finished project but with all the panels ready to rock/engine/gearbox etc. I have bought another van and so this van (my missises) is now surplus to requirements and i might pursuade her to sell it. I am near peterborough.... pm me if you are interested.... :?:

Thanks for replying, good luck with the '72...holding out for a 71.

Actually a twin sliding 71 poptop camper would do too, then change the roof back :shock:

Thanks for link, but the fact that it has an MOT already puts out of budget :lol:

In the last 6 months there has been 3 '72's on ebay, all under a grand...nearly crumbled once, but still holding out
