1955cc with twin carbs and a few tweaks.

What's it used for? It's somewhat lacking in windows!

It's a daily, and a weekender.

I haven't seen it in the flesh (so to speak) since the resto/freshen up, but have seen pics of the interior fit out, rock 'n' roll bed, insulation etc.

It's a really nice van. I love it.

It does look fantastic. Any shots of the interior about?

Nice van! Here's the other picture:

I've alerted the owners, I'll leave that to them.

Looks like a right job, and as asked already, would love to see some interior pics.

What horse power is it ?

Gorgeous early van with the small rear lights, and rarer than a camper, so even more interesting.

What's the white car in the reflection in post #9?

I'm thinking '70's Corolla estate, maybe.

trevorbrady

is it not the distorted reflection of the front corner of a VW T3 transporter?

Type 17

It is a bay window transporter - you can also see it in the front of the door of the grey van in post 3.

Ah for feck safe I see it know! I thought it was the rear of a car and the wheels were throwing me. Thanks for that

trevorbrady

type17 is right, T2, not T3 transporter

Strange that they fitted a bathroom with a viewing couch.

While it looks a top job, it's not a colour scheme I would have chosen - inside or out.

i disagree . i think the paint job on the outside makes it an outstanding example of a panel van .

With that colour I`d be half tempted to put the Iron Cross on the side of the van.

Nice job, some effort to get such a slab sided commercial body that straight.

Reminds me of this:

Anyone know if it was ever finished?
