    Just noticed it’s at Felbridge! That’s about 5 miles from me and about a mile from Bazza’s house!
    If only we’d known we could’ve gone had a look and kicked the tyres for you...

  7. I’m only about 45mins from Felbridge...though on a fact finding mission my skill set would have been limited to “yep, it’s definitely blue!”.

    Bloody hell I know this camper the geezer lives right next door to the star pub in Felbridge, he was using it as his daily up until the sale, I know he did a front wheel disk brake conversion he also put on a stainless steel exhaust, I hope you enjoy it well done

    I'm going to miss chatting to the fella he seemed a nice chap, I've followed this bus many times along the Copthorne road, I'm going to also miss seeing it
    Good luck

    Looks like I'm the only prototype bay owner in Grinstead now, who's the daddy:thumbsup:
     
  13. Well 420 miles later o_O

    I'm home safe and sound, was an epic journey but was worth it.

    Needs tinkering with and odd bits of paint sorting but looks fantastic.

    Drove well for a 50 year old but god was she thirsty!!!

    Pics to follow

  15. Looks like a nice bus, and the previous owner has clearly taken care of it. I bought mine sight unseen on eBay and haven't regretted it since. Hope you have many years of happy motoring/camping together.

  18. Looks like a great bus.
    I remember from your 'moneypenny' bus that you have great skills, so i'm sure you can tackle any work that needs doing.

    Did I notice a Fram oil filter? If so a mann filter W719/5 fits and is a much cheaper alternative

    Are you off camping this weekend then or tinkering?
