Are you going for this? It's been in long term store indoors from my look.

The camper body is interesting as it's more a box set on the chassis. Looks in fair condition.

Rear door is unusual too. Makes it more usable if you want to use it for moving  stuff occasionally.

All-in-all OK as long as it does not go for too much money.

Blimey, a CF fitted with a shower!

Fancy-dancy.

Someone with a 1/4 acre......

Lot 8 looks superb for upstaging Chelsea tractors in Chelsea.

Great for a vintage aircraft museum - where it is perhaps where it will go.

Somewhere like Duxford - which is well worth a visit btw.

That wee Allis-Chalmers is an absolute honey. Sno-Cat is great as well.

I agree, mostly.  I won't be bidding though.  I've got something coming tomorrow, stand by for a thread; good news, but I certainly won't have four figures to lash around for a while.

Sounds great news @eddyramrod - all agog to see your next motorised conveyance.

[loserone]

Clue: it's not yellow

[eddyramrod]

Clue two: Blue.  Ooh!
