Chuck,
Is your Westy a Baywindow, Vanagon, or Eurovan? I've had a Vanagon syncro for about 24 years now. I'll be visiting up there sooner or later.

  Would love to see pics of the Luton. Can't be that many left on the planet. I do have a somewhat interesting workshop currently if any of you are passing through; 356's, 911's, GT6's, MGA Le Mans tribute (ish), VW Westy, the 1600GT, and a recently acquired one-off sports racer by Peter Dawson. And a fridge with cold beer, vintage race movies, and air hockey.

    The PO had let it sit for a few years so it may just be the basics of a refresh.  But he also said the gearbox needs work which I haven't looked at yet. At this point it's mainly a case of time as I have a couple of projects in front of it, but it's not forgotten. Fortunately its a cross flow 1600 so there are resources out there.

      Mine doesn't run, so somewhere near my garage in Greenville, SC sounds good.

        I would guess we look at various car shows, locations and dates and put together the list and then start.

                  Got to like the TVR 2500M....I got one of those now for 33 years.  On my second restoration of the car.  As for my Mantula I did have a "Not  Selling' on the Chasing Classic Cars Facebook site with a $35k price tag.

                  One look (OK…two) inside my “toy box” is proof that I have a hard time letting go of anything.  Then there’s the storage locker, the classic truck used by the shop, the bikes, parts cars…
                  Too bad that having a backlog of client work means that I never get to work on my own!

                        That is what I like to hear. After 44 years of working on and restoring (3 times)  my car, I have turned down a cash offer for 35000 in October. I just can not sell it.

                        It does seem to keep popping up.  If I ever get the wood rot repaired to make mine roadworthy, I don’t see that I’d ever be able to let it go.
