Hi from Lancashire

[mike_tatt]

Just thought I'd say hello to the Forum.

Based in East Lancs - Purchased a 2020 T6 'Edition' before Christmas - Superb condition and perfect for our camper conversion project.
We have been looking for many months - missed a few of opportunities - and this one appeared less than ten miles away at a local garage with a good reputation.

It has all the bells and we wanted - DSG, reversing camera etc etc etc - which has saved much head scratching and retro fitting - and a tad over 30k miles on the clock.

Conversion progress is ticking along nicely - heater fitted - a bonus when working at near freezing temperatures - windows and (most) insulation installed - and now playing with the electrics.

A bit of a steep learning curve tbh - the last cars I ever worked on were Morris Minors !! - so - some of this has been a bit daunting.

Looking forward to learning more from everyone - and hopefully contributing where I can

Cheers
Mike

Ever so slightly jealous

Welcome to the forum. Got any pics to share (of the van or the Morris Minor)?

 

[mike_tatt]

Just a few pics after we'd put the windows in -
I Like the colour - it's quite anonymous when parked up - a bit more stealthy
Only other external changes since this are an EHU socket - it's black - hardly noticeable - but I'll spray it to match the van colour when we get a couple of dry days

Wish I had some photos of the Moggies to hand - a 1958 and a 1967 - I wish I still had them - easy to fix with a couple of wrenches and a hammer ! !


Cheers
Mike

That's exactly what I'm after !!
Well done on finding it, really nice Edition

You best get yourself over to the Team Indium Grey thread and join.

Welcome to the Forum @mike_tatt . You won't get the true ownership experience of a T6 with those non-irrigation side windows though! A wise move perhaps methinks!

It took a while to find it - and we struck lucky - It belonged to the garage owners uncle - and they had done all the servicing for the last three years - and it's been really cared for and not abused.

Was prepared to wait for the right one - as I was made redundo - no tears - just cheers from me and have decided to take early retirement - so realistically have to get it right - otherwise I'll have to get another job to buy a different one - and that ain't going to happen.

Have to agree on the windows - took some advice from this forum - and a local installer who was a real help.

I'm taking a tube of sikaflex to my OEM slides until I get around to replacing them
