Gosh, ever a Minor that needed an engine swap, it has to be that one!
DVLA reckons it's still 1098 (cough but also thinks it's blue!)

Ideal for touring, suggest Lincolnshire, the Denmark etc! :lol:

Oh my gawd :twisted: That Minor is beyond the best of adjectives. Revolting does not do it justice...

I quite like the "brick" version of the VW Camper, never as popular or over priced as the earlier campers.

I agree Neil :) I find them very easy on the eye and really no less characterful than a Type 2 in camper trim...

I would imagine they are a lot more practical and easier to live with/in than a Type 2...

^^^ Wonder how many unfortunate pedestrians it's swept off pavements when going round tight corners?

The amount of rear overhang is outrageous :shock:

ISTR from a while ago that some of those behemoths ended up perilously close to being over the max weight allowance on a car driving licence :?

I have seen a lot worse versions of the "brick" selling for more than this one guided at £2,500 to £3,500. On the walkaround video little to fault and very nicely presented. It has one feature which I always like to see which will be picked out for another thread.

When I first saw it, in a very fetching two-tone yellow and white - for those reading this in monochrome - I thought it was a 'proper' Type 2...

And then I looked at the DVLA record for it...

Interesting on the fuel type and emissions ;)
