Thought i should say Hi

[humpynvan]

Have been trolling this forum for the last few days, have found masses of intresting stuff,
Whilst i do not yet own a vintage van, I am in the process of purchasing one, (1950's teardrop) It is in Adelaide and i am in Brisbane, but thats another story.......
anyway i hope to be a regular reader if not contributor to the forum,
My user name might give you a clue as to the tow vehicle..... ;D
And Im hoping to have to whole outfit ready for the road to make it to Bathurst next Xmas/ new year

I have ( hopefully) attatched a pic of the van i have found, unknown make at this stage, but from what i have found out, its very similar to Sportsmans of the era...

any thoughts welcome, also sugestions how to get it from Adelaide to Brisbane are even more welcome

Welcome humpynvan, no prizes for guessing what I tow with either ;D, check out the tech section for transport companies you may have some luck there.
Derk.
P.s Might catch you at Bathurst if I get there.

Hi Humpy, You could always get it road worthy with help from oldfarts or me and drive down. Then have a night or 2 with us at the Tanunda vintage caravan weekend ( 17-19 feb) on your way home.
Oldfarts offer is a good one too.
Strange isnt it that he is getting a van from half way to you and yours comes from his backyard!
Good luck with it . Oh by the way. I have a pair of proper teardrop mudguards if you want to replace those trailer ones. I could put them in the van for the trip home perhaps.

Drylander I would love to do a road trip, unfortunately family and work commitments wont allow it

Bettles, also a huge thanks for your offer of help, I will leave it to dave to call upon you if he needs assistance, Im thinking i might take you up on your offer of the gaurds though, let me know how much you want for them.
