pogweasel Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do loves a good RR. Even if it has a cruddy manual box in it. [hates autos] I saw this being towed up the A1 this evening (vastly inadequate tow vehicle, no lights or number plate): OBV pissed off that I wasn't tugging it home. Instead I was laden with a POND, dragging it to the home of the fastest lady drag racer in the UK. What a funny life I lead.[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Wow - that '86 2-door Rangie is THE DOGS.I thought they'd dropped the 2-door even earlier than that in the UK ('83?) to be honest*, but I do remember seeing a load of brand new 2-doors at the docks in Calais in the summer of '89, so the continentals obviously still got 'em.* Yeah yeah R-R fans, I know all about the 2-door CSK special edition in 1990. So there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Camper van tat. Can't believe someone's bid that much for it. Those vans are truly crap. Oh well - it'll probably be pulled by eBay for keyword spamming so it won't be an issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 £820 is quite cheap for a camper, I've seen shagged similar-age Transhit and Transporter campers going for a lot more. there is some rust which has been painted with white hammerite to stop it going any furtherThat sounds like a quality repair.

Mr Livered Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Yes, campers go for stupid money, I've been looking for one for years but they all cost about ten times what I would pay for a shite car, which is just too much of a multiple for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greenvanman Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Yes, campers go for stupid moneyIt's really only the professional conversions that hold their value. Homebrew campers can often be had for peanuts, even if the conversion is a tidy job like this one.That Ebro van is one ugly mutha though. Can you still get parts for them over here?

Spottedlaurel Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 [sL - fancy rescuing this Datsun from the banger boys?I’d love to, but in the real world……It’s interesting, fairly early one on an ‘S’, slightly less plush interior and simpler bumpers than later model. I had a T-plater like it years ago. I could never get hugely excited about it, and this would be just too much of a project for me. My hopeful acquisition of Datsuncherry’s Galant will be a more realistic challenge for me I think.Doubt it’s going to be cheap in any case – if it was local and for peanuts I’d probably take pity on it.

Spottedlaurel Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I can see why, looks a characterful little thing. Only 104 I’ve seen recently is that facelift one in Dereham.104s were the favoured choice of primary school teacher Miss Hammond , she had a series of them.

pogweasel Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 That 104 is clearly ULTRA COOL.My mate had one about 10 years ago, an earlier one like that too. 'Cept his was bright orange AND was trimmed inside in lovely bright orange fabric. OUTSTANDING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiel Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I need a 104 like that one to go with the 1100... I think I might try to build a collection of creamy French 5-doors. A 104, Renault 14 and a Citroën Ami 8 should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Getting things back on topic from a slightly odd deviation there, it seems to me that old French tin really does look best in off-white.
