Thanks BigMonty, the window frames were originally silver, decided they would be better off black like the windows!!, Its going to be treated to new paint next year too, white again I should imagine, but the horrid stripes down the sides will be gone!!

Hi Jono,

I have thought about beige, but only briefly, It is a bit "Austin Allegro" for me!!, I may do the body, ie - not the hi-top, in pepper red, but the most likley outcome is that it will be done back into white with more modern camper decals applied, not too many mind!, Maybe a set of wellers to finish it off.!!

Lovin the wellers! I tend to think red is a hard half colour to get right but sounds kinda sporty :)
