No Probs Squire. You helped me lots so just wanted to return the favour. By the way if you know anyone who wants an 07 plate Vito with all the toys its on fleabay item no' 290491006129. Want the funds to get a syncro camper or caravelle to us as mobile office for my business and fun on weekends. Got the bug now can't help it much to Mrs Lloyds annoyance. Why don't women understand?

Nice one Lloyd! What a wagon, all you wanted and more from where I'm sitting. The race is on to be ready for Surrey lanes
Steering wheel's on the wrong side obviously unless you are going to appease the mem'sahib with a lot of continental vacances?

For christ sake, don't mention 'the wheel', I did once but I think I got away with it!

cracking find there lloydy. interior is rare but if you keep it stored nice and tidy it can always be put back in. that van must have been a pretty penny when new

Just have to hide the bills from the wife, and all will be good.
Hopefully my westy will sell this weekend, to free up funds. Will hopefully be seen on some muddy track soon [thats if i can bear to get it dirty]

Went to see this van. Dithered. Got in touch with Sam again to see if it was still available and found out it had been snapped up by someone with more sense. Now here it is!

Great van Lloydy! Wish I'd bought it. Still on the look out for 16" Syncro and now know not to dither!

Cheers!
I spent a bit of time thinking and came to the conclusion that i'm unlikely to find another westy syncro in 14", let alone 16" thats in my price range.
Thats also just about rust free, albeit needing paint and fettling.
I'm also under no illusion that i'm gonna have to sink some money in it. I've got a good amount to get it up and running and for most of the unseen problems.
Sorry for swiping it
Lloyd

No need to apologise. You didn't swipe it, I had the chance to buy it and failed to take it. But if you do happen to see another one, you could let me know
