Sandringham,
Just for info, recently sold my 1986 trident with 1.6TD at 100k for £4750 so your price probably about right (all depends on condition).
I visited Auto-sleepers factory a couple of weeks back to get a few bits for my new (1991 Trident) van. A chap called Peter Finch in parts dept was very helpful. I did see he had a cupboard full of decals and stripes (but he said he gets lots of requests for them but hates matching the colours - at least yours looks to be the most common colour) Phone 01386853338 - worth finding out what he suggests if you ask him nicely!

Thanks very much for all these replies. I've managed to take off some more of the old decal using a hairdryer as suggested but it wasn't that easy. I'll try giving Autosleepers a ring directly for a replacement - didn't imagine they'd still have any from 20 years ago!

I'll go and hunt for the one in Forest Gate unless they're only Aircooled - less than a mile from me. Cheers.

Mikey.


Have a look around for someone who does vehicle graphics.

A builder mate of mine had his van done for about £150 which for the amount of work that was carried out i thought was a good price.
