I'm going to start tagging @eddyramrod for these as he should probably get one instead of a rubbish CF van

Right...

1: a CF is only rubbish if it has a tractor engine.  If it runs on proper petrol then it's the best possible van in its class.  Which brings us conveniently to:

2: Little Sherpa does at least have the correct engine!

3:  At first glance that Little Sherpa does look like a good idea; it's cheap enough.  However!  Look closer and there's only half the bloody thing left!  No load bed, no fuel tank, and of course there's bodywork to do.  Fuel tank isn't such an issue, I could get a tank, but I would have liked at least the frame of a flatbed.  My carpentry skills are not good enough to build one from scratch.  Also, I've proved that my vehicle skills have alarmingly low limits too now and I can tell by the pics that they won't reach that.

4:  All that said: yes please do tag me on these.  I actually do like them.  I've driven plenty of the 400 series with work - sadly all diesel - and they're better than many cars I've owned!  And they certainly need to be preserved for future generations.  I would happily be a part of that endeavour.

Nice. Did the Sherpa/Pilot/whatever ever get the Orgasm-series engine, or was it only ever the Bum-series from the MGB?

That late, it'll be the 1700 O; in the beginning they used the 1622 B, not sure if they ever went up to 1798.  And I don't think they ever had the MG's twin carbs!

There was a swb a135 on e bay recently that got me interested, it had had a massive  hole chopped in the roof for a sort of diy webasto job that put me off a bit.

Pilots were Perkins (if you were lucky) or DW8, I think.

I scrolled down hoping to see Nerys Hughes....

Mine has an XUD9 although I gather that those are pretty much the same as the DW8s.
