Hi Trisha I noticed this while trawling through eBay and recognized the patten on the Lino from somewhere ;D It took some more surfing to finally realise it was the same as your wonderful van so might come in handy for spare Lino or a period accessory bit.ly/18gQej3Cheers Andrew

Gosh you are such a lovely bunch of people, I am sorry I have been AWOL for so long Here is an update: I'm so so so excited, I just towed Bettie 70 kms back home from the repairer! I have been forced in a way to take away some of her originality (TEMPORARILY...I kept all the parts for lated giving me the option of making her original again) and had a new jockey wheel, towing hitch, brakes, 1.4 ton capacity axle and wheels changed. I want to start using her as soon as I can and just didn't have the know how or $ to get her restored to original, but this option will be there for later. Today was the first time she has been towed in 30 years! She got the sways when I went over 85 so I just sat on 85 km's, and her hatch came open but didn't fly away luckily as I only just discovered that it had opened when I got home. So I am proud to say that tomorrow she gets re registered and her plates! It's just too exciting for words! <3 xoxo Our first trip away is to Robe, S.A. in October, if I can wait that long, probably I will takle her away in the September School holidays because I am so impatient!

I am pleased to say that after a 2 hour long saga, looking for previous rego numbers, new chassis number assignment and serial number inquiries, Bettie is registered and road legal once more... There will be nothing stopping me now! I think the sun shines out of her behind! Uploaded with ImageShack.us
