    Claude is our new van. He is very orange but its not all rust. He is a 1977 panel van left hand drive.
    There is alot of work to do but hope to get it done before the summer. He has a 1600 aircooled engine at the moment but thinking i might change this for something with a bit more poke. I'll try and keep the pictures coming and up to date.
