I am sure that we would all like to join together in thanking Luke for his efforts, seeing this project through from it's initial conception to final sale, without you this would never have happened.

Furthermore, we should thank all those forum members who willingly gave their time and hard earned cash to assist with this project, it is people like you who make membership of this forum so rewarding.
Well done all of you.

Let's thank the the new owner for their generous offer and hope that the van provides them with as much pleasure as it provided those who assisted in it's production.
