Re: nice van
I know the van is appreciating in price slowly, its the tax, mot and insurance that outweigh the investment.

Re: nice van
This van is now for sale on Ebay. Definitely worth a look if you're after a RHD Caravelle.

Re: nice van
Thought i had sold it within 24hours of being on Ebay. The chap buying it was taken (seriously) ill on the way to come and get it. Now waiting so see if he is going to be able to go ahead with the purchase. I am waiting for a reply from him or his family. May well have to advertise it again!
Noticed one of the ball joint rubbers had split a week or so ago. jacked it up to change it and saw the inner cv gaiter was split part way round. The other inner had a small crack in it aswell. Got them all changed courtesy of Brickwerks - parts delivered the day after i ordered them (Great service - thanks). Quality parts as well.
