That's marvellous!! Who else has one?

It is air cooled and rear engined and has proper van wheels and plenty of ground clearance so there is nothing not to like.

About that roof - is it just to allow standing up or is upstairs where the bedroom is?

Bit of late reg madness going on there - the T25 (or T3 or whatever it is) came out on a V. Nice.

It does look shiny, it's true.

My future business partner hopeful (planning a nano brewery and mobile pizza and bar) really really wants it based on exactly this.

I've told him he's nuts.

Good luck, I hope you love it! (If you don't already)

You need another (almost) matching model on the dashboard. Oh look, I happen to have one!

As a young pup I spent many happy hours in one of those,my Great Aunt and her husband had several,the one I most remember is the 1970 bay window one.

I used to love seeing it trundling down the road.

Happy memories especially since my great Aunt died last year.

Enjoy yours,it's a beauty.

I remember that heater in the winter :D

What heater?  The cab of a pickup is only coffin-size, and even two-up we couldn't generate enough warmth to stop the frost on the inside of the screen!

I’ve had six of these, and restored numerous others.

Im on a T25 now, originally bought as a stop gap while I did a bay up.

11 years it’s been a good stop gap!

My mate had one in his yoof when we all had minis, Chevettes or mk1 Fiestas. 

He loved it, used to go to festivals before they were cool. We hated it.

It did about 50mph and drove like a milk float. 

He said it was great, you can bimble along and stop in a layby and make a cup of tea. 

We pointed out that in our "Proper" cars, we were already home and in the pub by the time he got to the layby. 

30 years on, I can see where he was coming from.

Can't beat a bay window bus. It's got the wrong nose badge though...

I've got an early production RHD 68 with a Moonraker roof and a home made interior.

It bimbles along nicely.

I've found a photo of your Vee-Dub on the net with your missus in front of it.

Only difference is we rent ours!

Hope you have some great adventures in yours!

Aye the big chrome badge has to go. I'll get a smaller white one for it... somewhere...
