Link worked perfectly here!
(It's actually a great idea and I wish I'd thought of it. By the way, if there are any of the pups left, preferably a bitch, then I'd love to give a hairy wee beastie a good home).

Medal to be awarded to the seller of the white one.. How the hell can anyone do 71,000 miles without leaving the IoM?

I was under the impression that the whole place is smaller than Liechtenstein.
Brown one looks lovely, imagine how dashing GHT would look stepping out of that.

Seriously? Well ok, but if it must be a Vanden Plas, I'll go for one of these.

Thankfully it was made at a time before BMC, BL and shite brown paint.

Rich - Mercedes fire engine for me - it's very cheap and would make a great car transporter conversion

Newer of the two Mercedes fire appliances for me please, I could see that making a very good motorhome, unlike the modern truck which only needs stone cladding to complete its attempt to win this year's prize for the most pitmatic van on the campsite!
I actually like the Marina-shaped thing too,
but the wheels should - IMHO - be sold to someone who's planning to ruin the looks of a TR7 as those big wheels and the tyres' short sidewalls are absolutely guaranteed to make the van's ride quality into something atrocious. A nice set of Cosmic or Dunlop alloys of no more than an inch above stock in diameter would be a suitable alternative.
