It is green and white early bay. It is fitted out as camper with some sort of pop roof.One of the roofs that go straight up.
Neighbour is thinking about buying it. I have seen 2 photos on a phone. Just wondering if anyone on here owns it or knows it. It is currently in Kavanaghs Garage in Duleek.

I don't know the van but no.

How can you say that?

I've spent that and more on my van and if I sell it I will be looking for it back, Its not like selling a modern car and expecting to get back money you spent on maintenance. Charging someone that price IF they don't have to spend another fortune is ok.

Good point I apoligise for my rash statement. Mind you if I ever sell my van i doubt i'll ever get back what i've put in. And i may have read the price thinking pounds not euros.

If you could do that it would be much appreciated. They are a couple at retiring age and I would hate to see them buy a lemon.
They will be more than happy to pay you to have a look.
Thanks.

I've been in the motortrade in one way or an other 20+ years
and 1 thing I have learned is the more you put into a car the less you may get for it if you ever need to sell it.
A motor like a 71 camper is more about how much you want it than its value, of course if it needs a pile of work or its a basket case its time to bounce the brain. is it worth 12k? A good original or a super well restored bay it could in the right hands get 12k stg in England never mind yo yos
Stump a fellow member from gundalk once said to me a car is a bucket with a hole in its arsk.
