Yes I might do that later when I'm heading home .. I'm gonna be in Germany for a week or 2 anyway so I'll have a look then and if anything catches my eye then I'll start a thread then.
Tam if you’re anywhere near Düsseldorf can you nip in to the finanzamt ( tax office) and ask if I have any pension rights from working in Germany in the 80s!?
Cheers Alex 🤪🤪🤪

Tam can I delete the pics of the N&B vario now?😁😁
Ha ha yes mate.

I had him on the phone last night asking if I was going to buy it. I said I think it maybe needs too much work for me.

And since then I've had a few texts from him saying he would accept less , then one saying make him an offer etc .

So I'm assuming he isn't getting much interest.

It's a shame about the delamination as it's not something I could live with and not an Easy fix but I've thought a lot about it and definitely just going to pass on it .

Also to repair the GRP on the overcab the screen would need to come out to do it properly, not practical for your situation.

Yeah I can't believe he had it painted without fixing that.

I said those were my biggest issues with it , the cracking and the delamination, he said yeah it was like that when he bought it but wasn't as visible when it was white 🤦‍♂️.... he said the cracks had been filled but obviously water has got in to it and it's expanded.

So the problem might well be worse than can be seen .

Says it never caused him any issues though.. .....but it will now lol.

He did say there's a guy from Coventry wanting to view it at the weekend.


The van I have may need some work done but everything on this is fixable for not a lot of money and when done this van will look fantastic . So while there are a few things I'd prefer on a different van I'm not desperate to change it.

If i had a partner and was having wild sex every night lol then I'd be desperate for a van with a better bed 🤣🤣🤣 but that's not the case so I will survive.

The floor and bathroom are my biggest concerns on this van just now ...and I need help sorting those out. But hopefully sort those out when I'm back in UK.

Yes you read my mind uncle lenny as I was looking today.
I thought as long as VAT or equivalent had been paid on mh bought in Germany had been paid and was at least 6months old you didn’t pay VAT on import

I imported one 7 months old back in 2002/3 and didn’t pay VAT

But it might well have changed yet again as I later imported two new ones in 2008 and 2017.

Yes that all changed after brexit . I've imported 6 vehicles in my life 5 from Europe, 1 from San barnadino USA, never paid any vat etc . But that was all prior to 2012 . Now you've to pay 20% vat on any vehicle regardless of age. Plus the other fees it makes it not such a bargain buying one abroad.


Not sure how the purchase price is proved on a private sale vehicle though and I'd most likely be buying private.

Anyway I've just ordered another load of bits for this van off ebay ( sorry uncle Lenny HB ) , replacement vents for door and gas locker, some new lights as struggling to see in here at night 🤣🤣, and a few wee cosmetic bits just personalising.

Spent a small fortune the last month or so buying bits for it for when I get home.
