Maybe we should get it as a joint venture Stew... then we swop every now and again... you fly to Portugal and use the Hymer and we fly to Uk and use the Airstream...:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

(Like Margaret Thatcher and the Devil we would never be seen together :winky:)

I spotted it yesterday :thumb:There was one about 2/3 mths ago (not sure if that is it) but they wanted around 30 to 40k and I am sure it was "full" but in a very tatty condition.
I may have posted it at the time but advised looking at the body work closely :Smile: before anyone bought.bid on it.Must admit it will turn heads when done :thumb: but in my book it is just too long/big for my use.:cry:Would make a great base for anyone full timing :thumb::thumb:

There's one exactly like that 3 pitches away from us on sheepcote valley, looks lovely surely more than 3.5 ton though?

Don't worry JJ ,MHL is on about swapping his Gordieboy for the Hymer in Porugal,not the gorgeous classic Airstream ::bigsmile:
I personally think the Airstream would be the business :thumb:Spend around 5k inside (no windows,roof vents to buy)and you would have a very modern interior in the iconic body work :thumb:No doubt some rich "stars" would rent it @a grand a week without blinking ::bigsmile:

I am afraid that I am a "restore back to the original design" keeping it as "original" as possible man. These new material, machine made units with modern fittings are not for me...

A stunning peice of kit, but better have very deeeeeep pockets to restore it, when we used to do vintage and classic car restoration for a living I would guess that back then would be 30K to restore so at least double now :Eeek:

All the best Rick

You could easy do a sympathetic restoration using hand made units and new fridge, cooker and heater etc, :thumb:After all why would you want a 35 yr old m/h inside? I have seen quite a few old Hymers that could do with a interior face lift :thumb:

One man's face lift is another man's ruining the classic original... :ROFLMAO:

JJ :Cool:

A lick of varnish/French polish would help a lot of classics-often it is the woodwork that is tired ::bigsmile:
