I’m actually going to look at a camper HiAce this afternoon because I don’t want a T4, this could be the perfect solution , wonder if they’ll notice at BugJam etc?

It certainly seems to contain the right amount of filler for it to be a VW

Had a HiAce camper, they are far better than a T4 and rarer. Rot though just the same, sills on n/s behind front door and around window pans.

Those wheels are the automotive equivalent of painting Mr Blobby on the apse window at St Paul's.

Simca 1501

Sacré bleu, how rare are these? The parents of a former school friend had an 1100 once and I used to see Matra Ranchos but never recall any of these or the 1000s.

This one is a local Norfolk reg too. B) "Hnnnngggg!" :mrgreen:

@chaseracer thats two items of porn in beccles - how much taxi please :D

Looks decent for £795. I think this is pre-prince too so even better.

Might just be OK being a 2005, but I think even 2006/7 convertibles were still R53 shape but with prince engine. ?

Seriously?  I remember these as relatively classy old bangers, "a cut above" if you like.  In the 70s one of my teachers had an 1100, then when I went to art college one of the other students used to turn up in his folks' 1501 Break.  In the early 80s my friend Carl had a 1000, and about the same time was the only time I sat in a Rancho, when I got a lift with someone from my HCITB training course.

Back in the early 80.s I was a Service Receptionist  at the local Ford main dealer,Towy Garage ,my brother,s mate bought in his 1501 estate exactly like this one.he had driven it in from his house  a good 10 miles away.I wrote on the job card  brakes need attention.one of the young apprentices was told to have a look at it within a minute the car   Was at the end of the workshop ,smashed into a workbench. Bonnet ,headlamps grille no longer  the right shape. We realised after that the customer had driven it to us on the handbrake, from memory It was  a umbrella type one!

I towed it home with the  garage,s  V4 Transit recovery  and over the weekend managed to  fit replacement  parts  from the breakers  .fixed the brakes  and return the now two tone Simca back to its owner.
