N Dentressangle Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 So, there must be some brass to be made from offering a dignified* and opulent* send-off for deceased shiters and their rellies. I give you the basis of a sound business plan, sure to impress any bank manager: Don't fancy the death business? Worried about getting stiffed? Step this way for your new way to a fortune in camper hire. The compact model, for the single man or small family: or for the shiter who thinks that little bit bigger: All in stock today at Harry Bucklands, Cheltenham. Plus, I couldn't resist this rather classy 405 estate, with chrome bits on the grille and everything: Surely there's no need to scrap such excellence?

Andy F Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I saw that 405 on my last trip to Bucklands. Amazing condition, what a waste! I always enjoy a wander around Bucklands. abelw44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesapandre Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Shame about the Master camper. Last on road in 2014.

Burnside Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Did anyone see a Fiat Stilo Estate or a Fiat Punto MK1 or Uno in there? Shame about the Peugeot 405, look's in good condition. The Rover also looked to be in good order. An never seen one on a Y reg. Maybe of use as spares though to Lord Sterling fleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Jimmy Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Simon returned to Bucklands today and I hitched a ride; I'd never been there before; OK most of the stock is naturally modern or my idea of modern, nonetheless there's a few shitters lurking about which stirred my interest. The remains of a Rapier. HillmanImp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't any interesting Fiats when I went a few days ago. I did see if that Rapier had any bits worth foraging but it looked shot to bits. The front bumper could be worth saving?

Viva is an SL no less - some of these come with significantly large engines - could be 1.8. Even has Vauxhall mudflaps, could have original dealer sticker and maybe even plates. Very nice.

I'll take it as a good sign! Hope that Viva btw is for the yard. Looks a peach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Blue Viva VFH 408M is a 1256cc, reg'd Sept 73. Road tax due 1st Sept 1986. Looks like it must have been stored somewhere dry for 33 years. I think late 73 / early 74 was the crossover point where the 1800 and 2300 Vivas became Magnums. Loads of info on Vauxpedia. If it was adapted for disabled driver use then there's a good chance it could be a low mileage car. (Possibly a 3-speed automatic? - am not sure if they did a 1300 auto). lesapandre and Burnside 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
