We went to Gosport a few years ago to the wife’s gran and grandads house. We were near Southampton, when it went passed us on the motorway. What’s the chance of that? I sold it to a mate of mine up on the mendips, who sold it a year later to a guy in London. My son took this pic on his Nintendo DS and shouted “dad!,dad! It’s our old van!”.That was 2004. Glad it’s still running. It used to have a blacked out oval back window from a ambulance, before the original one it has in the pic. 1700 cj engine, twin carbs, good for 90mph on the way to run to the sun. Happy days.I bought the one I have now 3 months after I sold it, as I didn’t like seeing the light rectangular shape it left on the drive.
thats what my mate in his golf told me,too.I totally rebuilt the top ends, relapped the valves out, rebuilt the carbs,etc...
I told him he had a nice van, when we printed one of his books. He did say “cheers mate”, then walked off. He’s bloody tall, isn’t he?
