Picked up this little beauty for my mother in law yesterday.
She's off back to Portugal tomorrow where she lives so my wife and I are going to drive it over for her in November. At least it will give us a bit of time to put a solar panel on it and give it a good service.
Bit daunting driving that far without knowing the history of a vehicle but I'm still looking forward to it

Great little M/, ours is the same Is it on a VW T4? Petrol? 1.9ltr?

Just a note of caution if it is, they are very thirsty 15mpg is just about the norm.

Our first trip away we averaged 13.98:( Had it serviced, and changed driving habits of a lifetime, last trip 15.4 mpg:dance2::Grin:



Great little machine though! :cheers:

Since 2009 with motorhomes several caravans then tents before that.
We've always liked those. Ever since we first went into a funster couples. We thought they were perfect for 2 or even better 1. Got us thinking about downsizing our big MH.
They were a lovely couple , that had it, I can't for the life of me remember their names. They always insisted we went in their van for a cuppa and natter when ever we saw them on a rally.
She was blond and wore fluffy jumpers and he was a real character. Both tall like me. They don't post on here anymore.

It's a 2.4 diesel on a T4 so hopefully it will do a bit better than 15mpg:eek:
