HMC Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 It was originally dark green and someone has brush painted it that colour. I like it too, HMC jr jr calls it “hulk van” it’s definiely a rusting hulk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Not mine but my fellow flat mate across the corridor “elvis” is selling his c15 romahome camper. He’s after £1200 and his number is in the pic- located Tavistock, Devon- seemed a decent price to me. Broadsword, strangeangel and Mrs6C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Oh my. I was explaining to missus SPuss about these babies and she was quite taken. Then saw one on the road and she was quite tempted.... Might need to apply wine and see if I wave this under her nose. HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 I don’t know a huge amount about it, and “elvis” (real name Martin) doesn’t know I’ve put it here, but it seemed a good price to me and worthy of letting you lot know! He used to go camping with his son, but his son is now grown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirley Knott Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 That's a bit of a bargain for someone I recon, I'd genuinely love to have a crack at it but alas the driveway is full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 I’m Moving house with this at the moment and it’s basically up for grabs now. Its a 2000 merc Vito 110cdi crew cab In GREEN. 4 seats. The rear has been trimmed, bit like a basic day van. After changing drivers, passengers and sliding doors with good ones and painting to match it looks tidier. My paint job on the doors is ok, but elsewhere the paint is rough and the body is ok for an old Vito, but a bit rough. Good tyres. Goes very well, very torquey! although the gearbox is a bit tired and selects gear with a bit of a “snick” as it goes through on all except 5th, which goes away with care or a bit of Rev matching. Totally on the button and reliable, mot to mid August. A think of it as the poor/ intelligent persons VW T4. I’ve been using it as my sole transport and drives without issue, tired gearbox aside. It’s down as being repairable salvage on the v5. located Tavistock and I’d like £275. strangeangel, LightBulbFun, jumpingjehovahs and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I had a steer of this yesterday and can confirm it goes bloody well. Somehow managed to miss the twin rear wipers though - I'd have had a play with those if I'd spotted them. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Yes, plus it’s wired up like Mb cars of the period so if the windscreen wipers are on or on intermittent, the rear ones start clapping hands when you select reverse. I saw dollywobbler had noted them! LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marm Toastsmith Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Bloody hell man, I love this, but what would I do with the other one? My wife says I'm not allowed to buy all of your old Merc vans. Oh... LEZ says no anyway. I'd say GLWTS, but really I'm hoping you'll still have it in a couple of months once I've moved west... HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I'd say that was a missed opportunity! We could have done a live ROFFLE for this one. It is a surprisingly pleasant steal and were circumstances different, I'd be heading straight back down to bloody Devon! Good to see you here again, with your epic chod offers. (not just because of those!) HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporty-shite Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 There is an irrational part of me that is very tempted by that Vito. Unfortunately, the rational part of me realises that I'm skint, and that Devon is a long way away. If it were to roffle, however...…….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 On an economy footing I recon I get an average of 40 mpg out of it, the torque of the engine means 5th is ok from about 25mph upwards, 70 is about 2600rpm so it feels fairly relaxed on a motorway.
