Yet more quality treasure… it’s a camper van it’s doesn’t go and to make things even better they lost the keys! I said no, walked away twice…
So today me and fudge are attempting to beat it back into life and some how get it back to the yard !!!
Yet another too quality stupid idea 👍

Another top quality purchase & a top quality entertaining video thanks AL & Fudge really enjoyed that & plesse save her she is a beauty 👍🏻

@ShedTV Ай бұрын

I've always thought that model was handsome. The camper body is nicely proportioned too. I say do the mechanicals, repair and paint the cab, seal up the leaks on the body and sell it on for someone to do the inside.

@NOWThatsRichy Ай бұрын

I love these hedgerow/barn find videos, getting something running, that most people would probably just drag to the nearest scrapyard! Get this mechanically usable, give it a good wash inside & out & go on a long weekend road trip in it! The only thing Al, is that as it's left hand drive, the side entrance door is on the 'wrong' side for the UK, not a major problem, it would be ideal for someone touring Europe!

@conrad4094 Ай бұрын

I do love these “adventure” ones where you go off and discover new interesting rubbish . The exploration of the inside was very amusing. It does seem too good to scrap . I reckon it’s best shot is if you two patch it up as properly as you can so it’s a good base for someone to work off , I know you’ve not got time to restore it but just get it solid, safe and somewhat clean

@timstradling7764 Ай бұрын

What a beauty !! Driving them is an attitude of mind. Slow your expectations, enjoy the Zen of a slow motion progression and allow serendipity to take you somewhere that a modern vehicle would flash past causing you to miss great experiences. Keep it as is. So much nicer😊

@Ragnar8504 Ай бұрын

At some point in its life this vehicle has most definitely been registered in Austria, the green and white MOT sticker in the top right corner of the windscreen is a dead giveaway. When did that expire? The sticker should have the year and month of expiration punched out. The fact that it's green suggests that it expired a while ago because green ones were discontinued in 2018, newer ones are white. The sticker should also have the registration number at that time, which tells you where in the country the owner lived, as Austrian plates are tied to the current registration and the owner's home address. If you move outside your region or sell the car, the car gets new plates with a different number. Plates are also considered documents and only issued by the government.

@Ragnar8504 Ай бұрын

I might have to add that Austria loves road salt at least as much as the UK so it's an absolute mystery how this has survived. Probably simply because it's a camper and campers round here tend to be driven for three or four weeks in July or August and you aren't that likely to encounter road salt that time of the year. The very top line of that green and white sticker should be the registration at the time it was last MOT'd in Austria. Pre-1990 plates had one or two letters followed by up to six numbers, post-1990 ones have one or two letters, one to five numbers and one to five letters, usually 2+2, 2+3 or 5+1numbers and letters.

Guys that was awesome, I had one of those as a delivery van in the mid 90s and yep flat out every where . I never ever had trouble with the engine I was bomb proof . I only stopped using it when I pulled up outside a post office in small village to get some lunch and whilst in there buying a sandwich she caught fire as the nearside front brakes had lit up . Death was pretty quick tbh she burnt out quite quickly I still have the grill badge off said van . Oh how that brought back memories lol. Can't wait to see what you guys get up to next . Hope fudges back on the mend have a good week both of you. Mark and Emily at Rooster Recovery

@Ragnar8504 Ай бұрын

At least at some point she was an Austrian and that's 100% as bad as the UK as far as tinworm is concerned. I know exactly two people in Austria who still drive T1s and they both weld everything themselves, otherwise the vans would have disintegrated 20 years ago. Campers are a different story though because most people round here drive them for a few weeks during the summer holidays and keep them under cover for the rest of the year. We aren't anywhere close to the sea so it's road salt that kills cars and that's mostly used between November and March in our climate. Way up in the alps where you might need it during summer I think they're sensible enough not to use it at all, it's mostly in the lowlands where everyone forgets how to drive at the sight of a single snowflake.

In Austria (where it either came from or at least lived for a while) it would be worth 4k as is I reckon. The last time I looked at campers the most affordable one I could find was a 1983 Mitsubishi L300, which is considerably smaller than a T1 and even more woefully underpowered with a carburetted petrol engine, with leaky windows (so badly that the owner actually mentioned that in the ad) for 3500 Euros. And that was at least two years ago.
