The plusses
•This van was a luxury model for its era - so will really 'look the part' after a little TLC
•PETROL engine - unusual for a motorhome, as most are diesel - petrol means that fuel costs are cheaper - useful at the moment!
•Chain driven engine - so no need for a cambelt change
•Small enough to fit in a normal parking space yet surprisingly roomy inside (see photos) - this has been brilliant
•Four forward-facing travelling seats with seat belts - two in the cab and two in the lounge area - brilliantly flexible central seating arrangement which means that you can choose, for both sides of the van, whether you want one long sofa or two cabin style seats, there are also removable tables which store neatly out of sight behind the seats on one side
•Ample cupboard storage inside the van - overhead lockers, cupboards under sink, plus a tall cupboard which we have used for storing many things - all cupboard catches work as they should (the loo also provides useful extra storage if you are not using it as a loo!)
•Van starts no problem every time after turning over a few cranks

The minuses
•Some wear and tear both inside and out, due to the age of the vehicle
•Paint work has age related marks
