Aren't these rare as fook as well?

This looks absolutely sick though. If i had the time, money and knowledge i'd buy a camper right now.

fair enough

Plenty of campers & single cabs about mate,not many Rhd these days tho,loads of Lhd single cabs but i only know of two other Rhd single cabs & one of them is an import :-)

Took for m.o.t thursday, failed on two front wheel bearings,so not too bad considering its been off road for 24 years. Fitted new ones today,retest monday morning so hopefully cruising about next week

alright! giggity giggity.

Very nice, iv always wanted one of these

Straight through m.o.t today,happy days!

Cracking news mate. How was its maiden voyage?(hahaha, well hows it to drive?)

Its a bit bouncy,being stock height,standard wheels etc,otherwise drives well,absolutely love it :-)

few updated pics on first trip out

popped round to see my daughter so had to take a pic of her bug with it too :-D

wow i love it. my boss has been after one of these for over 5 years and all he can ever find is lhd ones. i will show him this thread in the week wind him right up ha ha

I've been looking for a while for one,was resigned to the fact of having a lhd one,but i looked at a couple & they were stupid money & rough as. My mate heard of this one as his mate got hold of it a few years ago,done a bit to it but now needed the cash.When i spoke to the owner he said he's only seen one other rhd & it was an import! I have another mate who has a uk rhd one that he's restoring,but he's had that 12 years The fella i got it off paid £300 for it 3 1/2 years ago,was a friends fathers,been sat in his barn over 20 years. I paid a lot more than £300 but less than the lhd ones on ebay at the moment,already been offered double what i paid too,but not selling :-)

He had £25k to spend on a good one but couldn't ever find a rhd one. All I have got to say is keep it for another 20 years and it will be work more than £50k atleast lol

After the engine went bang before christmas due to a blocked oil way as its stood for so long,the rebuild is on!

Latest on rebuild,

New barrels pistons

Had a cover made for the back too

Got engine back in last weekend & it runs well,just got to sort out a prob with the carb but hopefully cruising again soon :-)

uprate the engine during the rebuild at all?

No mate,kept it totally stock & the original size of 1500. Leaving this one as original as poss,my other bus is lowered,1641 twin carbs etc :-)

Finally got around to fitting my oak slats for the back & the firetec

Just done first oil change too since engine rebuild,180miles & so far so good

looks amazing always wanted one of these.

Thanks mate,was lucky to find it,just love driving it

Love the oak slatt detail. The engine looks pretty immaculate too! I am a very jealous man!

Thanks mate,I'm a chippy & just so happens we had to take up some old oak flooring lol, found a site all about the single cabs & got the correct shape,size & lengths etc,they should be pop rivetted on like the originals but I've fixed them from underneath using stainless screws so they're not seen :-) Engine looks clean cos its only just been put back together,so had opportunity to clean it all when it was apart!

Few updated pics,had it on the road over a year now

Got a bosch fog for it

My daughter has been using it & taking it to vdub weekends which has been lovely convoying together

looks amazing! keep up the work

Been using it for work

was gonna signwrite it,but had some magnetic signs made up instead,least i can remove them easily

Best work van ever.
