Nice and light, do the job, dunno why they get such bad press.

Cuz they look like they were made by Five Bar Galvanised Gate Engineering Ltd, but lets face it, you couldn't put an Ortec on that green Syncro, you'd devalue it. Its a style thing, some have it, some dont ....... and some dont know what it is.

Seriously, they work, they're functional and for some that all that matters.

I was not sure about Escorial Green to start with, but now I am a big fan (obviously) and I really like the way the green and black go together.

For my needs the Westfalia conversion does not have enough storage, or a big enough fridge, and I dont like underslung tanks. But they have the advantage of looking very smart.

Even AAZ's are a bit slow for my liking. :P

Its a conversion I asked the guy about a week ago.

There was a genuine 16" white westy that went in about 2 day in the 2 weeks before, it was up for about 20000 euros. :shock:

My friend took a 2wd donor Westfalia Joker hight top and used it to convert a 16" panel van.

Feels as good as the genuine article.
