Ooh nice
[i]ot mine but these 1962 Saab camper vans were kind a cool[/i]
They're more awesome than life itself.
I hate you all

Bumpy.
Noisy.
But its great. Starting to look a little tatty in its older years, overdue at the least a decent polish.
Fixed rear bed (5'11" so not quite full size) with garage under, bog, proper kitchen, 4 belts.
Spooky - is that a SWB or MWB Iveco ?
My old Vito, self build, packed and ready for the Lakes.

Liking the overhead storage!
Cheers. It's an elasticated cargo net, about 8-9 pound from Halfords.
In case Spooky doesn't see the question, his van is MWB Iveco, same as the one I've just sold. The LWB Ivecos have three panels on the side, rather than two on the MWB.
mark90 - thanks
I do like tnh's Austin A55 conversion, that's well tasty. Compact and bijou, as they say. 😀
Loving the bongos. They're a neat size. Also anything with a bike garage - lovin' it. Will have to get some pictures of mine (T5 California 4wd). No accessorise other than a bike rack. Doesn't get nearly enough use or attention.
My Sprinter van conversion - bought half/poorly done and finished/improved by me for our family campervan

Yep ElShalimo, its a mwb, commonly advertised as 3300 (wheelbase in mm). Its a shade under 6 metres externally. Mark90...did you get a good price? I'm considering a change, fancy a new project!

Around 10% less than advertised. And a lot less than I've spent on it 😐 Had a lot of good holidays in it though 8)
Looking for a lwb T5 Kombi, or a van to add seats/windows to. Already bought a family sized tent for holidays now.
Love those Saabs!
A few photos of our van .....

That garage is brilliant
What ElShalimo said.
Bump! ers, that is just had these fitted to the T4 alloys just need tyres changing before they go one, then the paneling, custom cabinets/lockers and electrics 😀

They're later model bigger bumpers (van an early shortnose) need a few brackets making up to fit just so.
