I had a look at it about 18 mnths ago and the bodywork was pretty rough then.id hate to see it now personally i dont think its worth more than 6-7k but thats just my opinion

Ive seen it here a bit......the interior is starting to wear and the wooden dash looked like it had some water damage.
It has a huge graphic on the back which says' BEDDY in giant letters in between two chequered flags.....looks cheap and nasty. Still has the Leyland P76 Alloy V8 but is now an auto.....when Howard had it it was a 5 speed that he had tricked up. I remember him telling
me the story of how he hand polished all the valve chambers.....man that thing used to go.....it would almost wheel stand. And it sounded awesome.......i wouldn't pay anymore than 10k........needs some work and could be an top van with the right owner.
I remember theday at ravenswood when we got together against the Perth City Street Machine crew.....they called us vanners the Kelvinator Racing team......was a fun day.....i took my LWB when it was still a 6 cyl in primer that day.....i didn't race it but Howard
passed me while i was doing about 110klm on the hwy....he pulled up beside me.....popped the clutch and drew smoke from the rear tyres thru the next 3 gears......needless to say he was outta sight in a few short seconds!!!!!!!!!

yea it was great to beat them after all the crap we took...lol




shame its not the same motor either although howie says he still has the heads that were on it.
Hes due to come up this week and give me some more info on it as Im doing another feature van for the site.
Still when jill and I went down  and drove it , handled really well and has some poke so at 8-10k it would be ok as most of the foundations are there if the final paint had been better hed have got closer to the money. That van has the best gutter Iv ever seen when it was stripped back it looked new.
