Yesterday movement on the camper van situation was made. We had narrowly missed out on the chance to buy a great Land Rover Discovery 200 (the seller had first offered it to his mate just before meeting us).

Out the back of his workshop we spotted a SORNed VW camper van, just like the one that we had tried to buy in the Isle of Wight. Save the fact that it had failed it’s last MOT is several key places, it was in fact in better shape than the IoW. And it had an interior.

This was quite possibly a diamond in the rough and we talked through what needed to be done to get it ship-shape and through an MOT. A suitable deal was reached and the mechanic said that he’d start work on it right away and give us a call (in a couple of weeks) once it’s roadworthy.
