Sorry guys - all details up on the thread now. Jack the seal of the roof on the rear offside is slightly askew as it gets compressed when the roof is up and the roof wasn't restored as it's fibreglass and didn't need it - the bodywork up to the window line was all done and repainted.
More pics now on - the roof is really big - you can fit 4 adults up there - lovely original 70s orange and brown upholstery too! The side pulls out to give the extra width. My pal with a T5 was gobsmacked at how much space there was compared to his! My profile pic shows Bertha just after she was restored a few years back by Kevin at Vale Restorations.
I know - we need to sell for cashflow reasons hence the low price - she is a bargain and really needs to find a new loving home sooner rather than later! Have really cared for her over the years and will be sad to see her go :-(
Thank you kindly! I definitely know more than when I first started. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It is - worth more just a bad time of year to sell I guess. Have someone coming to see her next week though but no firm offers yet. First come first served!
I see you're not far from me (I'm in Oxford)...I keep looking at that amazing roof space and thinking whether I could justify two bays! Best of luck, I'm sure it'll shift pretty easily.
