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.

love it andrew thats why my two ortecs cost and weigh less than that monstrosity you have on the back of yours. Its called efficency of design

If i had one original then i would have said something... but I have two ......

but you can't put the both of them on as your ass would be kissing the ground and you'd have to get a licence for a vehicle over 3 ton

Hehee! I do that a lot

... will leave it to Paul here too

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.

you know Im right Simon

is that a genuine 16" westy. when i asked before i started doing mine i was told that they only did something like 9 so buyig an origonal one was out of the question.

very nice though do you think he`ll part ex a copy.

From what ive seen i,d rather have the copy

thanks but as far as future investment is concerned a genuine van will always be worth that little bit more if nice.

lee.

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.

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.
