hello! my partner and i are attracted to a cute mk2 camper we have seen on ebay
its 1981 reg with 87,000 on the clock, 2l pinto petrol engine.
How long to these engines last?
I'm generally interested as there's a few of these older petrol engine camper conversions around.
on the one hand there might be a much loved bargain to be had. but on the other hand i am concerned that buying an old van like this may be looking for trouble??
what should i look out for when considering these?
also, can these engines handle a long drive down to south of spain and back? or are they really better suited to uk 'weekend' sue?
any advice happily taken. thanks, andy
