That number 2 van looks well looked after. And if owned by an old boy chances are it's been well maintained. If it's as good as it looks 5k aint to bad, you can always haggle for ££££notes£££££.
Good luck.

Yep that would be the one for me. Looks like a very nice not messed about with van. All the inside looks like some old couple have put there slippers on after coming back from that long walk bird watching.

There is a ledge about a meter and a bit long - loads of room for storing stuff.
They also come with a sliding bunk that comes over the front of the bed and makes a double bed up there.
Unfortunately, i havent got those - and am waiting for a certain villa 3 club founder to donate his to me as he will never use them
I agree with Jed - there are a few excellent conversions out there (that arent westfalia) - dont pass up a good one!
That bus that Kev the Rev has is a fine example - and the one that 1664 has (even though i've never been in it) sounds like a peach. Still, they are both high tops - and i aint old enough to own one of those yet
