Hi All,
Well I have finally found a few minutes spare in my busy schedule to give you some info on my latest acquisition.
For some years now I have been interested in a Fibreglass Expandavan and have missed out on purchasing a few.
Approx 7 month ago, Boblor kindly told me about one in Victoria but after much discussion the decision was made not to go ahead as for various reasons it was just in the too hard basket.
I think that Boblor's niece purchased that one in the end.
Anyway (out of the blue), I came across one approx 1½ hours from home up here in QLD and a few days later it followed me home ;D ;D What a bonus that I didn't need to get it transported from VIC.
After discussions with Boblor the "guru", he has told me that I have a rare van - it was one of the very first couple of fibreglass vans to be built as it has a timber kitchen. Later they were built with a fibreglass kitchen. So Boblor date's my van as a 1968. "How good is that" - I was more than happy to own a 1970's van, but turns out that it is another vintage van to add to my collection
We have already used it twice at Maleny and Kenilworth and can't get over how spacious it is.
I haven't had a chance to take many photos as yet (to busy being out and about and enjoying life), but here are a couple.
Luv Di
