Our new project, a Sherpa ~ pics later maybe, when it's light again

Melvin

came with various spares & tools,. & an x box!

A Sherpa........why????

Last time I was in a sherpa it was on it's side spinning around at 70mph going down the autobhan does it have the transit or pug engine?

is that all they gave you to take it away.you should of demanded at least £300

you could make another £200 scrapping it..wow £400 for driving summat to the scrappys

why?

why?,.

because as a camper it's far more practical,. fully kitted out,. ready to go,.

because we went to look at a 1.6 diesel tintop t25 that had gapping holes
in footwell/wheelarch/doorstep,. & the lovely lady wasn't going to budge on
her £670 asking price,.
looked at a 2litre Aircooled panel that had a spare engine but has been off road 7 years,
gapping holes all down one side & all jacking points & the whole front panel was shot,.

he wanted more for that than we paid for our Sherpa,

because i was curious to see what you could get for your money if you left the vw world ( & haven't left completely)
& it turns out you get a lot more for your money,.

yeah, and you get what you pay for.....
when you want to sell it, you will only get naff all back.
good luck with it, not sure where the sherpa tech forum is, try google

i think i'd easily get back what i paid for it,. but i might not sell it,.

i'm embarassed to be a part of the vw world at times,. the snobbery of it all,
i'd hate for people to think i was being snobby about their camper,.

I knew you'd be impressed!

Good for you!! I'd still like to see some pics! Or I suppose I could just be nosey when I drive past later to go to work!, bet the neighbours are pleased!! LOL

you're not allowed to come see it until you come round to show off your lovely new van!

it's pretty ugly really but i don't care about looks, it's just way more practical & nice to have
rear doors!

It can't be that bad, you parted with your hard earned for it, and it is still going, It may not be a VW but it certainly will be rarer!! (what with it being built here!!)

Lets have a look then.

Good on yer. If no one saves these unloved "wrecks" then the classic camper scene would be a very boring place. I had a sherpa camper years ago and while it wasnt the best built vehicle, the camper part was 1st class. I fitted an 1800 engine from a Morris Marina 1800 TC. The performance was, well stunning really. I even overtook a milk float!! Royal Mail used the sherpa for years.
Get some foties done and bring it to a meet, I'm sure that it would be the centre of attention.
