Full details:

Exterior bodywork etc: I had her resprayed in November 2007 from yellow to blue/white. On the whole the exterior bodywork is good apart from a few very small patches starting to come through. The front passenger step is rusty. The part where the sliding door slides across the vehicle is a little scratched. I think there probably are some rust patches underneath but wouldn't know what to look for. One of the hinges on the pop top roof will need repairing at some stage.

Mechanical: I am not very technical at all so I can only tell you basic information. I think she runs very well and always starts even on freezing winter mornings. She has an oil leak at the moment -not sure of size etc. I think the exhaust may need replacing quite soon as is is rusty.

Interior: We have had a complete refit inside which was done by a carpenter. The cupboards are all oak and there is plenty of storage. There is a small sink with footpump which runs off the leisure battery and has a clean water(cold) and waste water tank. There is room for a fridge with electrics etc - there is no fridge supplied with the van as it stopped working. There is a gas hob and grill - the grill isn't useable yet as a shelf needs to be put in cupboard to enable you to place a grill-pan under it. Bed - this isn't a rock n roll style bed -it is a pull out bed with fold down leg. We bought some memory foam to use as a mattress and this is very comfortable. It isn't covered with fabric so this will need doing if you want to at some stage. This means that there aren't any rear seat belts so bear this in mind if you have kids etc. The chemical toilet works fine and there are chemicals etc to go with it. We were going to put a buddy seat over the toilet but never got around to it.

Speakers aren't fitted into the doors -they just sit on the dashboard so if you want to make it sleek these will need fitting but this is only a matter of cutting holes into the door fabric.

The headlining hasn't been replaced so if you want to make her look really smart this needs doing. The front seats have car seat covers on at the moment as when we got her the drivers seat was pretty holey. However the car seats are fine its just cosmetic.

The pop-top roof is sound and has no leaks -I usually sleep up there and it is very comfortable.

I need to mention that the vehicle registration certificate (V5) states that the van is 'Yellow' well in actual fact it had a respray to blue/white in 2007 - I did inform the DVLA of this back then but there's been an error on their part as I think we've changed addresses since then and its got messed up somehow. I called the DVLA today regarding this and they advised to change it on the 'changes to current vehicle details' section of the registration certificate and they will amend it when it is sent in to change owner details. Just wanted to advise potential buyers of this prior to sale in case anyone thinks its dodgy when they see the V5! But I can assure you its not! And you're welcome to check VIN numbers etc.

She was used 1 month ago in Ashdown Forest and worked perfectly.

The reason I am selling her is due to lack of money. As the MOT has expired (September 7th) I have vastly reduced the price to allow for this.

I guess she is an unfinished project however she is perfectly useable as she is and we have used her like this for 2 years as run out of money to do any work.

She needs some love and a good home so please be nice to her!

Am happy to answer any questions as best as I can... please let me know if you wish to view her in Hove.
