Last 1 for this year, lets see those vans

Now then all,

I thought I would start December with Beryl, my original RHD 1964 11 window.

Some of you might be aware that I had an accident in Beryl on the way down to Glastonbury 2010. I decided to take her off the road for a full restoration in August 2011, I finally got her back on the road in July this year.

I was able to go to a couple of shows including Bus freeze which she won 'Best Split screen'

I have listed a full specification below, enjoy the photo's


Merry Christmas to you all

Contest over, that bus is simply gorgeous. WOW.

that was quick work took her off the road in august 2011 got her back in july 2011 sweet bus tho

Still time to enter & even though Robs van is a beauty we've had plenty of polls where the vote has gone against shiney vans So come on dont be shy enter your van

Okay I'll give it a go why not aye!!

This is my 1957 11 window. I got it back in 2008 and finally got it on the road this year after finishing the rebuild/resto in my back garden and fighting the elements!
My aim was to build a lowish van with character that i would not be afraid to use, think ive sort of managed it.

Well here are a few pics, not the highest of quality but you will get the idea.













Its running a 1641cc ex bay engine with a progressive webber (drove from Newquay to Worcester on one tank of fuel!)
CB 4" narrowed beam with CSP front discs
Freeway flyer bug box and straight axel and type3 rear drums
15" solid bug rims all round.

Not to everyones tastes I know but I love it and its getting used plenty, it has made a lot of folks smile and thats a big bonus!!
