I am a new owner (from 6th April) of a VW Komet (1989) Autohomes conversion in pastel (creamy) white. I am based in Edinburgh and the van is parked in Earlston in the Scottish Borders. ‘Moray’ is a cracking looking van. He has a little rust at the cab steps and at the usual spots at the cab doors and along the lowest panel on the offside below a vent but otherwise seems solid. I would like a body shop to look at the rust.
I got the bug after hiring a T2 from Scooby Campers (run from the Sun Inn, Newtongrange) and then a T25 from Strathpeffer Campers. That T25 from Strathpeffer had an interior that influenced what I’ve eventually ended up with after months of trawling gumtree. Ironically, I ended up with a van I’d seen before as it was often parked along a street at Craiglockhart I passed on route to the bypass.
Anyway, here’s to living the dream and owning a classic looking van. And to years of anxiety worrying about panels and coolant levels…
