FCF Couriers going to France, empty van.

Post by handyman »

I am going over to France with an empty LWB van on the weekend of the 29/9 to 3/10. My route is through Dieppe to Main et Loire and returning the same way, although I will be loaded coming back.

I am bringing back some household effects and a selection of Mehari body panels, for my next project, :roll:.

However, I may have a bit of space left in the van and I have about a whole day to trawl the area for parts, as I know one or two interesting locations for parts.

A. Does anybody want anything bought back (within reason, chaps)? :P

B. Does anybody want anything taken over? Must be on or near my route, as I'll be driving through at about 4am! :shock: :shock:

I will NOT be bringing back any illegal immigrants (donot care how much you will pay) or any fish, garlic, cheese, etc. as the van is not refrigerated. :twisted:

PM me if you have a need.

BTW. Its my birthday tomorrow. :gt: :tgif: :drink: :-({|=

I have my eye on a Peugeot 604 towbar which is for sale in Saint Malo. Would you have room for such a thing?

Sorry, St.Malo is way off my map on this trip, but as I have had a few others asking about collections in and around Normandy, so I may venture forth again, if there is sufficient demand.

If you haven't planned a route yet, how can you be sure of not going too far from where you don't know you are going? :P

I can just see your Xantia baiting the Handyvan like the ladybird does other creatures in Miniscule. Gicleurs (bon etat) g et d pour 605 Ph.2 lave-phares, SVP.

Calipers are all over Australia, but at Aussie prices. Ask Ralph on AussieFrogs about his donor car - it probably has some on it.

HM/jgra1 - I'm chasing the Series 2 headlight jets (removal without breaking is a black art) and retainer wire clips, also the tow eye cover flap, right side under front bumper. All these parts are different on Series 1. A complete "pare-choc av" seems to be 60-80 Euro on Leboncoin.
