Which Conversion is this?

Post by DaveandMarion »

Hi,

We just picked up our van yesterday and are trying to find out what make the roof is. Have been googling but can't find another like it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Looks a bit like mine? I've got a receipt from 1997 from Autocraft Motor Caravans of Chesterfield for fitting a "VWT2 hightop" £400. The receipt makes it sound like it was a replacement for the original Autohomes hightop because is mentions re-fitting the existing windows and roof-vent?

Thanks for the info Boxy. Your roof is the same as ours. Still no closer to finding the manufacturer but I think we'll get over it!

its the interior that will show more!

but many are home built or made from different sources- interior/roof/ windows ect

with volvo seats perhaps its a volvo conversion , or pehaps an irish one as the dash tidy is on the rear floor!

If you Google Autocraft Motor Caravans they are still trading, you could try asking them?

Thanks guys.

It's a DIY job so no help from the interior -although knowing they're Volvo seats is useful!!

Have had a look at their site and all it says is 'GRP Hightops', but no other info...

So am assuming it's just a generic hightop that any conversion company could have used?
