thats very kind but I think im going to look out for the whole thing in one hit to save haulage, and to get windows and all that jazz. I will get back to you if that changes or if I come past your way with a trailer. Cheers, W

I fancy something authentically weathered...

You actually just missed one in Northern Ireland, it was up on gumtree for £1500. I’m in the market for one too, probably a 24 or a 30 foot wide one, north of Scotland this time if anyone has any leads... damned awkward geography again...

Nope, I think that any justification for keeping a truck that does 6mpg looking nice and in good working order is absolutely grand and rebuilding a knackered original body is going to be an expensive process. Mine has a parquet floor, an aga, a double bed and a custom canvas and it goes on very short safaris (apart from one long one from Kent to the Scottish highlands but that was £650 so it doesnt happen often); And I rent it out; http://canopyandstars.co.uk/find-a-place/inshriach-house/the-beer-moth Its back to the farm for the winter now - Im trying to find someone who has the brake linings and someone in Inverness who can reline them cos my rear cylinders went pop, Powertrack have the cylinder rebuild kits. I would also like to replace the windscreen rubber because it is outside a lot and the cab leaks, and the wipers motor just packed up. Apart from that its just hilarious.
