MK3 Holdsworth newbies

Postby John&Diane » Sun Oct 29, 2017 10:08 pm

Hi
We have just acquired a 1987 MK3 transit with (we think) a Holdsworth camper conversion.
Previously we had an LDV convoy with transit banana engine whch we converted ourselves using parts from a caravan breaker...we sold this earlier in 2017 and have missed it ever since. We tried a caravan this summer but didn't get on with it (including finding it had damp problems once stored outside) and have spent a few weeks trying to find a panel van in our budget that wasn't as rotten as a pear that we could strip the caravan into, as a professional camper seemed well out of our tiny budget. (still in shock after going to the NEC last week and seeing "starter" vans at £50k+)
Firm believers in what goes around, comes around, on Friday we rescued a pet white lop-ear bunny that had been trying to live wild in gardens for the past couple of weeks after being dumped in the local area and found it a non-destruct policy sanctuary who will try to rehome it, and at 2am this morning were waving off the ambulance after our 91yr old neighbour fell and was screaming for help covered in blood. Today we dropped on this super little camper which needs a little TLC but ticks all the major boxes... Hopefully the start of a beautiful partnership!

If anyone can confirm that this is a Holdsworth "Future" that would be great, its our best guess from looking online, seller didn't know who had done the conversion, and we have not found a maker plaque or got any history with the van.
