      Sweet ride Dylan,

      What age is she. Did you do the restoration yourself?

        I had one of these, same year, same colour, back when it was only a few years old.
        Good reliable van, and if battery was a bit sluggish whip out your starting handle and off you go.
        Sometimes wish it was still with me.

            yeah ...... had a few o' those too ....... in the day. The thought of having to drive one again fills me with dread (no insult intended Dylan, but they're a bit 'agricultural')

            OK with the rose tints well polished
            If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!

              Nowt wrong with a Moggie Minor - agricultural indeed - people are spoilt these days!

              My first car was a Moggie Traveller, cost me £200 and took me miles, even into Druid country once :)

              Only been to the Great Dorset a couple of times. First was a flying one day visit with my son, but second was an overnight stay in the motor home. Need to stay over for the full experience!

                My first motor was a 1500GT Mk1 Cortina, long stick, with a brand new set of Heppolites and the build that went with 'em

                Closely followed by a 1725 Singer Vogue with an OD box - didn't keep that long, as although it'd only done about 35k, they had a reputation of shedding N/S front wheels, at the trunnion, on left handers ! Went well though!!

                Rarely had a motor more than 3 to 4 weeks then.

                  It's 1972. Did some of the work myself. Its only done 45k.
                  I normally go to switzerland with classic scramble same time as gdsf so never give it any thought.
                  Only new in was going a few days ago. I'm going down on Wednesday till sunday

                          Dan , I will have to find you a video of a "Caravan" I have seen recently .Towed by a motor Scooter and sleeps 3 .
                          Me thinks the design would hamper any addition to the family .
