Just wondered if anyone else has a Nimbus conversion campervan ? Just bought another one and looking to find any other owners out there. Here's mine bought last week: Kids love it !! Cheers Colin

That looks great. Might be worth contacting the 'classic camper club' to see if they have any members with similar models? My parents are into old campers and I'm sure I've seen one of these at a show with them before.

Plans are really just use it, took it to a local show yesterday, although i'd like to get it painted at some stage as it's been touched up here & there by a diyer but it's never been welded after being Zibarted from new, which has really protected it.
I've fitted the Rs alloy's which i've robbed from my other Mk1 escort, i have some Lotus Cortina steels which once refurb'd i'll be fitting, i also have a 1700 crossflow and 5 speed box spare so may well try that in there at some point.
I'll look up Hardcore as from previous one's i've has i'm sure the sink and cooker is slightly differant on this one, be nice to compare notes !!!

Anyone who does have an interest in these or any of the Mk1 Escort van, Campers or Estates please have a look at my revamped site www.classicvans.co.uk I've added a message board and for sale option and hoping it can be a meeting place (other then here) for like minded peeps to share info and questions for these rare models. Thanks
