  1. Hello I'm new to the forum and just picking up this late bay I'm not sure if is a Devon camper or been converted as the old boy I got it off was losing his marbles a bit is there any way I could find out
    Any way I've seen it sitting under a car port for 10 years and a couple of weeks ago I knocked the door and he was willing to sell so I picked it up on Saturday just gone and after about ten minutes of messing about and cleaning some of the engine parts up it started so I put it in gear and had a little test drive the gears are all over the shop and the brakes are in need of some tlc but was so happy to drive it on day one

    The real work starts as soon as the panels turn up I've ordered them already so any day soon the the work is going to be done by my self and on a drive way it's not going to be a show winner just use able and solid I will be posting pictures when the work starts and I will be asking for advice

    Do your research on panels; a lot of the available ones are Marmitee!
     
  7. Sorry if the pictures are all over the place I'm using my phone when it started I didn't think about the roof I just wanted to go I will get some pictures of the inside soon it's got a cooker sink and Pull out beds at the top and I think it's a rock and roll bed at the bottom I didn't look much on the inside as it looks old but it's in good condition not like the outside
     
  8. It come with the full front panel but not sure if it's needs as the window surround is good and not worth the extra work to fit it so thinking about selling it to help with costs
