I can't be sure, but it look like a converted panel van to which some has attached a high-top roof.

Does it have interior furniture?

Does it have interior furniture?

Hope so! Going to have a look at it today..If its a convert anything in particular to look out for?
Are they less desirable?

First, welcome!

From the info you provided, it's a blue panel van with chrome wheels that has had some windows cut into it and a white top put on ... air cooled, right hand drive, has been recently painted (looks like cheap job as washer nozzles and badges are painted), has a westy tow bar, a big round light pointed up on the back, covered reg plates and a leaf caught in the upper right side of rear hatch... or is that masking?

Sorry, couldn't resist. You don't give us much to go on. Better pics with some of interior will help. Have you looked in the wiki yet? Lots of good info there. Also http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/VehicleSpec ... o/menu.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Where VIN is and what it means is here: http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/VehicleSpec ... fo/vin.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Fill in your profile with location, etc. There is probably a member not too far away to help you out.

Honestly, I'm very wary of new paint jobs as they often hide all kinds of bad things.. mainly rust. I suggest you find someone who knows these vans to help you check it out.

Thanks for the advice, I've had a good read of the Wiki, its great!

Sorry for being vague, just testing the skills of the forum!

Its a 1.9l air cooled
2 berth
Electric hook up
Fridge (not sure if its 3 way yet)
Cooker

So..any other specifics to look for other then checking the "new" windows for corrosion, and taking a magnet to check what body work is under interesting re-spray!?

Many name brand campers are panel vans with windows cut in... some were window vans. This may be one of the these campers.

Most of us agree rust is the worst thing a van can have. Interior, engine, etc are much easier and cheaper to do then trying to get rid of rust.
