This beauty has been fully restored & painted, it has a brand new roof lining & Westy cloth front seats a Westy rock & roll bed trimmed to match the front & a brand new (not a re-con) engine all for £15,000 ready to go:-

Milly is back home safe & sound with the LPG all done, it looks a very neat job & it drives no different to petrol, I'll get some pictures tomorrow. :)
