very nice camper.
I sold camper vans for 6 months last year and came across some really retro ones like this.
is that a shower I spy there?

the clutch has gone  spent today getting the gear box off. tomorrow I am getting a new clutch and will start putting it all back. oh clutch cabel snaped at the same time but the AA man made a new one up. it was on the drive back to mine from northampton when the clutch said no more. I knew it was bad but was hoping it would last till after the weekend RR beach meet and to pick my trabant engine up from devon. the plan is to set off friday night and get the engine on saturday and the beach meet on sunday. just need to sort the clutch as the van is off the road I am going to put a new back box on and sort all the blows in the pipe. big 5" J box lol. sortin alloys off my mate daz. please MTV Pimp my ride |

These things can rot for England. That looks like one of a similar age my mate owned, his had plastic covers over the windscreen pillars, underneath the covers was....well, nothing actually.
Engine's the venerable old hemi-head 1971cc Peugeot lump as fitted (in RWD canted-over form) in the 504/505. Bit thirsty but will basically last forever if fed/watered.
A firm I worked for the 1980s had a Ducato van that I used to drive regularly. Happy memories of skinning my knuckles on the dashboard every time I went for 1st 3rd and 5th! Bit torque-steery from memory but handled really well for a van.
Good luck with the running repairs, hope to see it on Brean Sands on Sunday. ;D
