Not really Paul. Your emoticons are worth the view.

If there's a bed & a cooker it's probably some kind of camper conversion

Hi. I have been trying to post pics but it won't accept them. It has a high top with an oblong shaped window. The interior is hardboard as far as i can tell. It has a small gas burner and sink on the drivers side. It only has one double sofa style seat which converts to a double bed. There is a small storage area above fron seats and a larger one at back which could be used for a child to sleep in. It looks,from the outsied, like a van i have seen online called a joker. It is my baby. it has been described as cute. It is 1985 year, 1900cc petrol, manual and i can't think of anything else. Thankyou all for replying and i will still try to post pics of my pride and joy.

Have you seen the info here about how to post photos on the forum:

https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Mi ... g_pictures

It's basically a process of:

1. Re-size your photos to make them smaller (so that the forum pages don't take ages to download because of big photos)
2. Upload the reduced photos to an online image host (Photobucket seems to work well)
3. Copy and paste the img code that Photobucket etc will give to each photo, into the post / reply that you're typing on 80-90, then preview your post before submitting it, to check that it has all worked.

From the written description that you provide, your van could still be one of several conversions. E D I T: just read your description again, is it a Westfalia hi-top maybe, in which case the shape of the roof is very distinctive (I'll try to find a photo) and it'll be a left hand drive.

Thankyou for your help on the photos. I will post some pics as soon as i stop working nights. My van is very similar to the picture but with some differences. The roof has side windows and there is no fridge inside. It is right hand drive. and 1985 year. Thanks again.

Not a Westy then!

Night shift . . . ouch! Looking forward to seeing the photos, I like trying to play the "spot the conversion" game!
