Mate where have you been? Mark is out and about at shows with his, and I am working with 2 1969 SWBs this week. Both on the road, looking nice and street legal. Ours would be out there insted of sat on the yard if it wasn't for the rear shock failing the MOT. Ours left the factory as a van, was converted to a camper, and then reverted back to a van though! They are out there, you just have to look.

Maybe it works more or less in the same way as watching milk boil.

Stop looking and maybe you WILL see them. :?

Would it be a good idea to split up the Mk1s and Mk2s? Up to over 80 now (or is that 90, as our lutons are put in on one line?) and one post isn't going to fit on the page soon! :lol:

Would it be a good idea to delete all other posts but the last one, so the thread doesn't go on for pages repeating itself, like the ebay name in the ebay section?

Off the top of my head, I can think of two Mk2s and a Mk1, Mk2s are a LWB phase1 pick up and a LWB phase2 van, Mk1 is a minibus. All in west London.
