    Neat history, thanks for sharing your story. Pity the original number plates have been replaced.
    What was the story with them being replaced? Tell the old man stripes are back in and protector strips never were in!

    If this isn't the best 'first' post by a member I don't know what is, thanks heaps for taking the time to upload you photos and tell us your story.
    I didn't plan this but I just started typing and thought I might as well do it proper and this sight is really user friendly, it was so easy to add photos

    PS. <--- Flamenco and 18v too.
    Very cool van and from what I know the engine has been done twice.

    lol, everyone tells him he's got to get the stripes back on, but he dosn't mind the protector stripes he says they have saved the body from a lot of little dings.

    Yes it is a pity about the original number plates, he only replaced them because one fell off while he was driving in the early 80s

    What a great van and great story. I have a Flamenco Red HZ V8 manual van also that I am going to start restoring. There aren't enough left anymore, make sure he never parts with it!
