I think the photos are great. They show exactly how practical these old vans can be, and why we all spend time and money keeping them on the road. ---------------------- |

Thanks, all. The help from this forum is priceless! Winchman, the bike is a 1962 Peugeot BB Moped , that needs a minor restoration and a paintjob and (hopefuly this summer) will go on a custom stand on the back of the van. Cheers |
