I thought they said Son on the weather report, well it is the weekend!

Dry enough and warm enough here, might even go and do some work on the van, a few wee jobs I thought about when we were away. Removing the sink in the loo was one, give us a bit more space and as we tend to use the sink more it does seem to be a bit of a waste of space. Couple of wee wiring jobs still to complete and I would like to redo the alarm wiring and hide it better! Then again I could continue answering the tons of mail and add more to the website. Decisions decisions, now wher did I put me malt!

Pat is still looking for someone who would be interested in this 1967 Miniglen,

Ain't that the truth Paul, We have a 1981 Glennevis now and it is in better condition than a lot of modern vans with only a few years on them, if any.

There's a Glendale for sale on my site just now if you want to go back to perfection! (-;

Hi Gordon, good on you for keeping the oldie, they are so much better than the plastic and chipboard with all the mod cons that are todays vans. Never needed a shower room in a caravan and having seen some of the damage that they can do I am glad that we only have a WC, most sites have showers or baths these days so it is something I feel is more of an annoyance than a luxury, all that extra carrying and pulling of fresh and waste water containers!

If you need any advice on repairs etc then the Fixed it Club members are always on hand to help where they can, just ask and one of us will answer!

A very warm welcome to the ukcampsite forums!

An old post I know and havent posted on here for a while since I sold my Rapido but a big thanks to Papa Pip for the info on this van and it is now sat on my drive waiting for the snow to clear so I can get on with the restoration  

1967 Thomson Mini Glen

and its new tow car

Eddie

Brilliant Eddie and love the towcar. Is it a Hillman Minx? Can we see some photos of the van before and after restoration please?

Regards

Robin

Robin Papa Pip is right its a 1963 humber sceptre will post photos of its progress as it gets done just need to get rid of all this snow and I shall get started 1st job is to get the interior sorted new upholstery and flooring and then a repaint when the wheather improves

hope to have it out for its 1st event at the end of june at the Banbury Steam Fair at Bloxham

Eddie

Hi Eddie, in the outside picture their looks like what may be a Thomson plate under thr front door, if it is it will have the serial number on it which should be similair to 11mg222 No1's year and no2's number on production line with the MG standing for Miniglen, although they may alternatively be M2.

Can't do much about the snow, falling hard and fast here again, but will try and help out with info where possible. (-;
