Greetings from Hampshire

  1. Hello All,

    I have been lurking in the shadows for awhile now reading threads and ogling your vans and feel it's only right I introduce myself.

    I have loved VW campers since being a boy and travelling around in my late fathers immaculate OCD infected bus named Annabelle. After some research I believe was a Devon Moonraker with a caravelle roof that had sliding carpeted boards for sleeping on (which I've never seen an example of since?!). It was white and I can still remember the registration (ELC 131T, if anyone sees, has seen or owns it I would love to know she is doing well. I'd even offer cash for her return!)

    My partner and I have recently acquired a young baby girl (we didn't steal her, it's all legit!) 14 days ago and we would like to start some adventures in our own van.

    So, currently scouring all available sites and resources to find what we want and trying to get out and about to see examples of.

    Looking forward to joining your distinguished club very soon.

    S&F

    Chris.
