i remember years ago one of my mates had a transit van with a mattress in the back as a er bachelor pad....... in case anyone is thinking of trying this it didnt work too well (the only time he persuaded a girl back to it (and i use girl in the er loose sort of way) we gave him ten minutes then all tried to rock the van over....this seemed to put him of his er stroke

Ah, the Mehari. They fetch around the £3500 mark in top nick so the price doesn't seem to bad. Plastic (ABS) bodywork and a lovely rust-attracting metal spaceframe. I'd love one! Did you know the French Military were into them in a big way? Then there was the RAF with their 2cv pick-ups....
I'll get my anorak...

And you can see George Michael and Andrew Ridgley driving them in the Wham video for Club Tropicana.......

In 1986 we had a Merhari as a rental car in Crete, with 6 of us in it up the mountains!

Did you have anyone in the car called George or Andrew ?

You're not wrong there. White, high mileage (I know it's not that high and it shouldn't matter but it does), damaged and the guy practically admits he's been using it as a van.
