The Guy I bought it off has been restoring it since he was 17, He is 36 now . A labour of love indeed, Just needs The SLIM finishing touches.

No I was just in the rite place at the rite time , AGAIN. The fellow who owned it was just plain out of enthusiasm after 15 or so years of dragging it round, and I had to twist his arm Literally off , to get this Van. He was a real nice guy to . Here is a picture as asked for by Gary The ZULU, Claypole !

Its an original Canopy industries rear Fold up seat, Even trimmed in the original FC fabric and colour, Its not fitted up , But Its still a very nice find , when you have a couple of vans.
