101 wanted

I know of a couple going, are you bothered about body type, price etc?

I may be completely wrong (it has happened before), but I thought the

101 was actually rated for 2 tonnes, so there may be legal issues. I suspect it would tow 2 tonnes up a vertical slope in high 3rd, but the legal rating may be an issue? Probably worth checking out.

We are looking at getting one soon, preferably something that needs a bit of work, and also signals or ambi for conversion to a camper......

You need to look at am ambi then - as there's a couple of very good reasons why you've no chance with getting a redio body or vampire, these are:

Too expensive (I know...) Too rare. Too little - you can fit a bed across the back of an ambi with comfort. You cannot do this in the 12" or so narrower radbod or vampite.

Oh, there's also the small matter of a growing group of people going around to sort you out if you try to cut-up a radbod - which would most certainly happen much, much quicker with a vampire!

Try to get an ambi which has already been converted, or partially converted - as most of the crappy work will have been done. If you find a minter Ambulance and cut it up, you'll be losing a potential investment return of around 3 times what you paid for it (they're becoming quite rare and I really, really WANT an original condition ambi...).

There are also quite a few very tidy custom built camper bodies floating around. You've just missed one smashing example - if you'll excuse the colour, at:

- the chap who now owns this has a GS for sale - again, building a body onto a GS is a good option, as done by the club magazine editor, see:
