Cheers guys and galls appreciate all your lovely comments
Four candles, keep looking you will find the right van it is out there somewhere, I was in the same position as you I wanted a holdsworth or autosleeper and thought I'd never ever find one after months of looking....it became an obsession searching the net but eventually I found barney. Wait for the right van don't compromise ....I know it's hard when your desperate for a van but its worth the wait when the right van does turn up
