The Unicorn Drivers Club :D which has only 7 members. Stopped off with Neil before she's handed over at the port for shipping to her new owners in Canada and more adventures. Thanks to everybody who helped with the sale and for their support Paul :ok

I am just happy to say that I saw it with my own eyes. A once in a lifetime find.

She's gone now handed her over to the shipping co. yesterday and all the paperwork signed and keys handed over. Funny thing even though I tried to not get attached to it,these vans do have a funny way of winning you over like a puppy and sad to see her go. I'm just very honoured to say I was the custodian of her for a while, and I do know I shall probably never see a van like that again never mind own one. However I have come to that strange realisation and moment of truth in ones life, that some vehicles are too good for me :oops:. However now I can once more dedicate my time towards the more deserving black swans of the Syncro world of a Marsala red variety and possibly a new creation there might be a Kangaroo on the horizon :wink: :run

I'm sure her new owners will appreciate the comfort that has been brought to her from her lesser 14" cousin! :wink:

I felt very privileged to witness this van at the Overland show. I had received Irish comments prior to my viewing and was prepared for something out of the ordinary . . . but this was a van that reached out to my emotions, never have I seen anything like it! My head would have been all over the place had I have taken possession of this van . . . but you have passed it on to pastures green and places to explore . . . here's to black swans, getting down and dirty, good curries and a beer :ok
