Lurking around Rob, bit of racin', bit of camping :)

It's weird that it just vanished Jed, search on here shows someone called 'isurf' posted about fitting a westy interior to it, then nowt.

I don't want the van back by the way, just curious what happened to it. Be a shame if it's sat in someone's garden unloved

This look familiour, last time you saw it. August 2007!

Yea Mcgills right, was up in glasgow for a few months with me then bought by a couple down south, London way possibly. I didn't keep their contact details, wish I had, should never have sold the private plate with the vehicle and would love to buy it back.
Which was why I thought you may know them, they would have contacted you about the plate papers?

Funny how prices have moved eh, 16' Syncro with home build multivan and LPG conversion sold in 2007 for what a basic single cab with Tax and Mot would cost you now!

Hope your doing well, cheers

Cheers Alistair, indeed, the last time I saw the van. Bitter sweet memories I guess, I loved the van but had run out of steam with it by that point.

Still odd that it's not knocking about Syncronauts, quite a 'specialised' vehicle to not need a bit of forum support. Not had any contact from them about the plate, though I have moved house since then, maybe my ex is burning the letters :roll: Not even sure I have any documents relating to the plate now

think he races F2 Rob, the name sounds familiar. I'm racing at the same tracks, but at a much lower level, when funds allow :wink:
