If your kind offer still stands, the guy who's selling it says any evening this week or Saturday to view. If you are able to come along, do you have a preferable time / evening?
@scrooge95 ,there was a nice tintop with a cracking interior in the classified ,did you not want to view that ,think it was £8 grand?
You realise @volkswombat and @scrooge95 you must turn up in your aforementioned outfits when van viewing and post pictures as proof
Yeah I saw that one, looked interesting and good condition... I'm just a bit wary of Q plates. Probably unjustifiably so, but wary none the less.
What sort of time you aftet? I could do tomorrow or Thurs, not too late on Thurs though as I gotta go truckin. Sat latemorn/lunchtime onwards?
But the add explained about the Q plate and they had the paperwork to sort it, with your budget I would very seriously consider it
Hi Scrooge, Welcome, Im from Hampshire myself but i would be no good as i wouldn't know what to check for to be honest,
Neither do I really ( you've seen my bus ! ) gives me the chance to put bacon in my bottom again though Only joking Scrooge, I know what I'm doing, got a halfords trade card and everything!
Fair comment, it does look peachy inside, and is well within my budget. Don't know why I am wary of Q plates, I suppose because they just advertise 'import' or something that has been seriously customised and altered beyond recognition normally (Beach Buggies etc). Is it possible to get a Q plate allocation removed and a standard, age-appropriate UK plate issued? I've actually got my eye on this one down in Cornwall http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/scrooge95/library/Jaffa late bay in cornwall so am hopeful that it works out. No pictures of the underside, although I spoke with the mechanic in the garage where it is currently residing, and he walked around whilst talking me through it on the phone. A bit of flaky paint on the sills, no rust or dodgy welds to see on jacking points, outriggers & chassis, but it is undersealed. Where the underseal is flaking a bit there is original paint underneath. Apparently. Worth a trip to Cornwall though I think. Once again, comments welcome. Hopefully @volkswombat will be talking me through things to look out for when we meet tomorrow No rose-tinted glasses.
Ah yes, I foolishly named the album 'that colour which is the same as a fruit' and of course it becomes 'Jaffa' which means the link no worky! Have renamed the album accordingly
Launceston. It's currently in a garage there being given the once over - or at least it was today when I spoke to one of the mechanics. Any additional help / advice would be very welcome if you know someone in the area I'm planning to go down on Monday with luck
sorry I thought it would be further down Camborne/st Ives etc... there is a vw forum... http://airsupplyvw.proboards.com/
The Eastleigh one? It wasn't. I put a Wanted ad on Gumtree and the bloke contacted me. He's got a set of VW T2 steel wheels listed on there, but not the camper for some reason...
