So I've just bought a 1969 Dormobile and 1968 Devon camper from an old guy who had been sitting on them for many years...I'm particularly excited about that original Dormobile roof. The two vans are also packed up with a variety of spares he had gathered over the years, so I'm keen to see exactly what I've bought when they arrive in Cape Town next Friday. Both vehicles are running, which is a bonus...but lots of work will be needed no doubt.

The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 256 KiB.

Please Eben / mods, have a look at this problem - the images are greatly reduced and still the above message

The other option is time consuming with the result that I'm not inclined to post pics here anymore :(

(thanks :) and sorry for the hi-jack)

Wow, that's a great Dormobile indeed! The interesting thing about the one I just bought is that it has two jalousie windows as well...Both vehicles have running air-cooled motors, but will need quite a bit of work to get them in shape. It took six months for this deal to be finalised...
