It`s on the log book as 1985 vintage and it has a watercooled engine. I may appear stupid at not knowing this before I bought it but I was more interested in the overall condition of the vehicle.

Hello to all by the way.

Wash your mouth out with soapy water, Mr.Spread!

As the Revster correctly says, it's an Auto-Sleeper. It will most likely be a VT20 or a VX50.

It`s a 1985 according to the log book, and from deciphering the vin plate thanks to Brickyards site.

this 'sleeper owned by 'Miss Marple' should have the same interior as yours.

I might add here the interior Autosleeper fitted to your van is one of the finest and most unique to the campervan world.
The materials used are superb quality Marine ply throughout with top of the range fridge and furnishings
Only Holdsworth Villa 3's can walk in the same street...

What's not starting off the battery? Nice looking van by the way, and another Autosleeper as well!

Should have two batteries, main one is under the drivers seat.

Post by **Smiler** » 29 Oct 2007, 18:20

It only starts from cold off the battery

The starter turns the motor very slowly, hot or cold, but it bumps off at the first go when hot

From Brickyards info, I was going to check out the starter motor bush, any better ideas?

Runs and drives lovely apart from that

I`m as happy as a pig, in sh!te, with mucky clothes on!
