Mines exactly the same as the one on your booklet n guess what.....ive got that booklet too!!!

Mines a D reg 2.5 diesel devon conversion....got it off my nan whos owned it for 16 years. Its still got all the original interior, cooker, sink, fridge etc and the same paint job i think cos it says "dawn" still on it! Its identical to yours but not quite so tidy lol.....will get some pics on here this week for you. Yours is the first ive seen thats the same as mine....have searched everywhere to find another one!

Ha ha wicked! Ive been looking for one the same too, not found one though! Mine used to have the Dawn stickers on but I chose to remove, Dawn is the name of the conversion done by Devon apparently. The chap I bought mine off had it resprayed but its not the best job. Another D reg though! Thats interesting, perhaps our vans were parked next to eachother once upon a time! Whats your plans for yours?

Ha ha Thats wicked! Exactly the same as mine! Never seen the same fibreglass lid on another before. Looks quite tidy though, different wheel trims and looks like someones lined some of your curtains at somepoint too. Interesting you've got the Dawn flag thing on the bonnet too! So whats the plan with it? Great to see another, I wonder how many they made!?

Lol yeah good old nan lined the curtains and thought it would be a great idea to hand paint the poor thing!! Its got its MOT next month so will see what happens.....ive still got the original curtains and cushion covers too....thats actually more gross than cool mind!! Ive put in new metal etch effect lino cos the also original carpet was nasty lol! Will let you know how it does next month tho am praying it'll get thru it....so much fun :D Having a nightmere trying to find decent spares for it tho....any suggestions?

Hey Lins, How'd it get on in the MOT? I hope it passed... What spares are you after? You could always put a post on here asking members for spares, ebay can be quite good too.
