    Wow, thanks for posting

    First saw this at Supercar magazine (remember that) show at Melbourne Exhibition building round 84.

    Price seems reasonable in this crazy era but a very niche market....maybe some nostalgic tragic has cleaned up on crypto

    Such an iconic Van.

    My memories of these top Australian vans stretches back to the late seventies. I remember seeing Jade vs Vanrat tug-o-war at Mildura in '79.
    Great times and memories that influenced my life really.

    Just dropped $10,000 from $129k to $119k

    Not that I'm in the market but what would you actually do with it? Would certainly put a smile on your face every time you got a beer out of the shed fridge

    I hadn't really thought about it. I guess the answer for me is I wouldn't buy it. I have always liked it but for me it will always be somebody else's Van. Over the years I could have purchased many ex show Vans that I admired and I even owned a couple in various states of condition. But in the end didn't proceed with any of them because they were somebody else's ideas and personality. So decided only to do my own thing.

    I hope somebody does buy it, loves it and shows it. It's still a cool ride and iconic Australian vanning history.

    I would love to see YOUR vanning history with photos of the journey. Does it exist online anywhere?

    Oh yeah…..you’re Smooth on that site. Unfortunately it looks like some of your photos are gone

    In looking for you I forgot my vanning history is on there under Your Van from years ago when I was active on there.

    Yeah, I though I had seen your name on there.

    Photobucket stuffed up a lot of images on forums. I replaced quite a few on the threads I have moderator rights on, but not the others. Maybe one day...
