    Westy Malagas were one year only vans in the UK.

    It's an original bit of kit to those vans.

    My old man used ours for toast, as I have his van but no toaster I spent a few years sourcing one (@lhu1281 I paid bobbins for them).

    Having a toaster in a van is pretty handy tbh, you don't have to do only crumpets!

  2. They're "crumpers", as we used to call them at Eton.

    Getting crumpets is quite rare here at Casa Del Terrordales.
     

  7. Looks like an early version of a gazebo heater. Only this one is meant to be used inside a camper van.............

    Mrs C' mum used to send her to the shop with a list and it would say pie clips :)

    RIP Mrs C' mum :(
     
  9. It's in Truro. On a completely unrelated note @Moo is being very quiet on this thread, suspiciously quiet.............mr-mushu-racing

    :eek: I don't know what you're suggesting there... but I will confirm, it does not work on the electric hob we have at home. And it won't fit a new fangled Smev or a good old fashioned Tilly Talisman. All our crumpets are cold and soggy :oops:

    If she did, she did it with soggy crumpets.

    It’s blinkin’ quite large innit!
     
  15. Over £100 and no tray ......
     
  16. Blimey, I've got one of those in my UK westy. Complete.
    Wonder if mine's a Malaga or was retro fitted. What else can I look out for? It was built in 73.
     
  17. The attachment on your cooker ....

    Sounds like yours might be a Malaga. I sold a Malaga interior once a couple of years back. Someone had told me about the toaster thing but I hadn’t quite pictured it in my head, it wasn’t until after I’d sold it that I saw a picture of one and realised how it worked. I just had a strange brassy bullet like fitting near the middle of the hob . If I had a cooker / hob like this with the fitting then I’d snap it up. A complete one must be worth a Kings ransom.;)

    Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,, it was in my panel but not OG obvs :)
