interesting stuff! I suppose its getting difficult to source them over here now, and avoid either bad modifications or the metal moth. Did it come with that full length roof rack?

Nice van you've got there.
There are a lot of moddified VW's out there, some are very nice and others not quite so.

I quite like this one for a moddified one and this camper.

But not so sure about this one:

First - Welcome to the site. Very Happy

Second - If you've been offered £400, (and you do decide to sell it) then look for "Offers over £600". If the rack is that special then it'll sort out the chancers from the really interested.

Nice! Love the look of VW Campers, don't love the price though!
