Australian Rust free Bay

My bay windows have arrived and cleared Customs. The Westy is up for sale. It’ll be ready in about 3 weeks. It’ll have fresh paint on the bottom half. Orange I think unless someone makes me an offer and wants to choose there own colour. It has the 1600 engine with the single Pict carb in it. I can sort out a 2 litre but that will be extra. I have pictures but they don’t advertise the van well as it’s mid restoration. The front seats are going to be recovered and it’s got new window rubbers.

The price will be £8500 ovno. Pricey but it is a rust free bay that hasn’t had any rust cut out (there is some surface rust but this will clean up). It will be running sweetly and looking like new. If your interested let me know. 07989 163 138 or 01383 851 887 ask for Rob.

I’ve Photocasted a few photos but remember that these photos are before resto (the finished product will be beautiful) and just to show how solid it is.

Nice Busses too! Shame we didn’t manage to recover them from Lowestoft on Thursday.
That was some road trip. Thanks to a clapped out Transit low-loader with knackered rear axle, diesel fuel pump problems and a puncture, our 36 hour 900 mile round trip was a bit of a disaster!
Things learnt: I’ll never use a Transit again; I’ll never hire from a Kelty Cowboy either; AA & RAC are useless when you want recovery and puncture repair on a ‘commercial vehicle’; Satnav with speed camera locations is a godsend on unfamiliar roads; V-Dubs that were driven on in Australia don’t seem to want to work on this side of the planet after a month or two in a shipping container; Red Bull only keeps you going for so long; Travelodges and Premier Inns suddenly become ‘full’ when you look like a gang of pikeys or try and book a single room for 3 adults; etc.
I think the full saga deserves an airing as a newsletter article sometime soon… :wink:
