Hi.
I have a '90 2.1 Carravelle Gl. Elec windows C locking Cruise control I love it. (Paid £2000 )
As with any van bodywork is the number one concern. Have a look in the Wiki.
I'd say £2950 is a bit high unless it is mint.

Mine has a middle two seater unit that slides out on runners.
3point seatbelts on the two outside rear seats and the outside middle seat.

I've had mine for a fortnight now

I've done 2 long trips in it already - both about 200miles each in a day.

It's pretty quiet and comfortable for motorway cruising, but if you stay at 70 it's pretty thirsty and feels like you are pushing it. Mine's automatic though, so maybe the manuals are higher geared?

Stick to 60-65 on the motorway and it's great though. I love the driving position, but in windy conditions, it does tend to wander a bit.

Having said all that though - it has let me down twice in the last two weeks. One was a loose connector on the starter and the other was an overfilled gearbox that blew a load of ATF out onto the exhaust. Oh, and the water pump needs changing now as well...

I suppose that's the price you pay for driving a 16 year old car.
