Looks great & just how an old van should be.
Shag pile carpets, portholes & a waterbed in a few years when you want a day van?
Am devastated I can't get out to a quatlty accessory shop to find a sticker that says "When the vans a rockin' don't come knockin'".
I saw one on the back of a shitty Talbot that said "what happens in the van stays in the van". When I saw the state of the couple who returned to it I was heartily thankful.

They've been shredding trees near me so I got a load of hardwood chippings which is the first decent load it's had.
The van is supposed to be able to carry 3/4 of a ton; OK on our flat roads but with only 3 gears and the original 33bhp motor you wouldn't want to be stuck behind it up Porlock.

I hope you wear a cloth cap and brown cotton jacket whilst out in it.

I go to The Boat just opposite. I can get in on my own now I'm over 65.

Shame, I don't see many pubs like that surviving. I think the name is unique.
