MY £50.99 CAMPER MK 2

[billybun]

Hi all , this is my mk 2 camper i brought of ebay this year for a massive sum of £50.99 yes fifty quid ,me and a mate towed it from the guys rear yard in Blackpool to home in Birmingham ,but first gave the old girl a day out ,i towed her to Blackpool seafront ,she got a lot of intrest including a guy who got his misses to take his pic sitting in her . The local police also came to see us,have a safe journey home the older fellow said after checking us out . Towed her back at a steady 50 on the staight bar i welded up (before u ask yes it held out lol ) well did,nt want them dvla men in ther jeeps pulling me,there s loads of the buggers in lancashire on that m6 ............ She is unusal as she has no front doors ,and what i think are bedford cf bumpers, the wings are moulded in but not mks transit standard ,i think they maybe adapted A series transit ,there is a escape hatch in the roof along with one in a cupboard and a rear entry door , its 2oocc petrol,will be restored by me,and a 2.5 and mt 75 fitted ,it will keep me busy for sure but its my little hobby and i can stand back and say i done that ..very best wishes BillyBun

[billybun]

No what you mean Luke, i cant park her at home( Tina was not impressed ) shes down a little yard i use a stones throw from the house,no mains there tho,so take the genny and water, oh yes and the portaloo which i allways de -test emptying lol Well i cant sell her as ive never seen one like her and dont think i ever will,should think its quite a rare one,not looked for makers plates etc yet as still of feet after falling out the back of my hightop on to the welder( the welders ok lol ) 1600 yes 1600cc pinto lump 4 speed with points in the dizzy,carb is knacked tho does run but you have to hold choke for 5 mins by hand before she will tick over, drove her into the yard,she appears to be built on a lwb single wheel van chassis,tyres are 205,s x 14. best wishes Billy ps theres no alternator its fitted on a barge now

[billybun]

Hi course it will ,have old mots,been passing for years, modern hobbys and other motorhomes have no front doors,it has escape hatchs built in for safety, im in the trade to.. best wishes Billy

[billybun]

It has no front doors built in,they have used only the top half,the bottom bit goes out as a fibre glass panel,there are cupboards built in for storage where the orginal bottoms would of been,kinda flared it has a strange window winding mec to,not mk 1,2 or later Transit best wishes Billy [/b]

[Luke]

certanly is unusual - ive never seen one - cant see why they would do away with the doors at least keep 1

is it 6 stud axles on it

[billybun]

No 5 stud,with 205 tyres, where doors were is storage ,wiper moter is also not in cab where it normally is,it is in engine bay, the whole motor has loads of mods ,front indicators are not the best tho best wishes Billy

The front bumper looks like a rear bumper off a rear engined VW van/camper

[billybun]

Not 100% sure whats is off yet i did think it was bedford cf, but it does have a section welded on in the centre,mounts on normal mk 2 brackets tho,could be vw, between us lot on the forum im sure we will suss what bits what best wishes Billy

[Luke]

front indicators are not the best tho
