Yo.
At some point later this year I'm looking to flog the Jaaaag and get some form of retro camper. Being an awkward sod I don't want the standard VW or camper bodied transit, I want BIIIIIG. I do a number of steam rallies with friends, vehicles including a Diamond T 980 and a Unipower Forester, so I want something to act as a support vehicle to those. I'm looking at either a converted Green Goddess, something like an Austin K9 with a large classic caravan, or ideally a classic bus or lorry conversion.
Main problem with this grand plan is space. The yard where the Dt & Unipower live is full to capacity then some, which is a bummer given that it's 5 minutes walk from my house. Before I can even contemplate buying a vehicle I need somewhere to put it!
I know I'm unlikely to get indoor accomodation for something of that size (an open sided barn would be ace though), but a corner of a transport yard or farmyard would be just fine. Would need to be able to do maintenance work on it- hand tools etc, possibly a genny to provide power on very rare occasions.
Looking to pay up to £100 per month depending on location, security etc- if it was absolutely perfect then I'd consider going a smidgen higher.
Ideally within 25 miles of Stonehouse, Gloucestershire.
Long shot? Yeah, but if you don't ask...
Cheers,
Matt

Under the blue tarp is an Austin Champ, and behind the gates was another K9 with harveyfrost crane.
did anything come of that (or could it potentially still do so), I'm in no great rush. Toy fund still rather depleted after wrapping the other half's MX5 around a signpost and having to fund the replacement!
