Beige Renault trafic t1000 camper

[messerschmitt owner]

I have the chance to get an almost free (£50) beige Renault Trafic Camper -E plate, beige, 1700 petrol. It is 350 miles away though and hasn't been used for about a year - slightly rusty - but savable - a Holdsworth conversion - should I or shouldn't I?

Surely that's your summer hols sorted right there? Autoshite Dream Vacation.

 

£50 for any camper seems to suggest earning potential.

i have a 25footer here just now, which is the summer hols -the other van needs a battery put on it and attempts made to start it - was tidy before going off the road by the father in law!

 

I like scruffy!

 

Have it on shiply - would expect £250 to get it here so £300 all in, I reckon.

You'd be mental not to buy it. Log off, get on the train and drive the bastard back before someone else buys it.

Ah - it isn't going anywhere so I'm safe just now -it's the father in law's and he's here!

I'd be on that like a werewolf attack!

There's a old E reg i think Beige Renault Traffic Camper around the corner from me, I often drive past it and give it the eye, I say get on it!

[nigel bickle]

Yup. Find something similar, legal. Borrow plates & disc -drive back at night.

 

Jobs a good 'un

My brother briefly owned a cream C reg Traffic Camper (pretty sure that was a Holdsworth jobbie too) with a fetching brown stripe when he lived up in the Lake District. It come complete with a lovely orange/brown/beige interior. I really liked it . He bought it for similarly silly money as the garage selling it admitted it had stood for about eight months around the back.

 

Sadly it really was on it’s last legs mechanically. He spend several hundred pounds and about a month in getting it back to a roadworthy condition.

 

It died somewhere just outside of Cockermouth on the A5086 in a rather large cloud of smoke when the engine suddenly caught fire on only it’s third outing after it’s MOT. I think he only managed to drive it about 40 miles in the time he had it.

Grab it, no contest. This is what we call in the trade, a "staggering bargain." If it costs you 300 to get it home, and another 300 to get it fit, that's still a darn cheap camper. Do it!

cheapest shiply quote so far is £368. I'd like to see £300 or so, and maybe a detour to Keighley for a BX

 

got rid of our cot bed so price is down to £40 -

what if it was booked in for an MOT near where you live?

would that legalise the journey? you would have to make sure it had four legal tyres and working lights n stuff first though

it's 360 miles - reason it was not used for a while was a bird had its nest in the engine bay - five eggs - and little birdlets eventually came forth, by which time new van had been bought!

 

So it has sat unused. I remember seeing it about two years ago when it was at our house and it was a little rusty then! Ran OK though. Interior is OK but not in any way spotless.

It'll clean up alright though surely? I forgot I had one of these a couple of years back and eBayed it with no MOT. The couple that bought it came up from South Wales, kipped half the night in a car park in Chester and drove home at 3.00am.

 

To be honest if you don't end up buying it you should list it on here, I'd defo be on the list for buying it if it runs ok.
