The van is just being tidied up, before it goes on sale for the next owner *weep*
But it cant come to Sydney with me

Anyway, three years ago as a naive camper virgin, I bought the van and didnt find out about the conversion... three years later and I still dont know, and now Ive painted/changed every bit on it its a bit hard to tell.

The only clue is the words (underneath the purple paint, but still readable) "CanterBerry Camper" on the hi-top. Google doesnt give me any clues... Any ideas?

There used to be a firm of converters called Canterbury Pitt that did conversions on Splits and early bays, but I think they went out of business many years ago.

Hmmm, definitely says 'CanterBerry' (sic. Thats not a typo).
It might just be a sticker from a dealer, I suppose... I'll post up some photos later and see whether that helps?

Some photos... does this give anyone clue as to the vans vintage?

The interior looks like the Reimo furniture system, but this was used by many converters so doesn't help much.
The high top is a popular pattern - don't know what make it is but there seem to be a lot them about.

Looks like the EMC town and Country conversion, Mine has the same top and very similar interior only my zig unit is in a different place. On the rear of my top it has the EMC logo.
The conversion is quite rare, only saw a couple at Vanfest.
