- Yet more quality treasure… it’s a camper van it’s doesn’t go and to make things even better they lost the keys! I said no, walked away twice…
So today me and fudge are attempting to beat it back into life and some how get it back to the yard !!!
Yet another too quality stupid idea 👍
Another top quality purchase & a top quality entertaining video thanks AL & Fudge really enjoyed that & plesse save her she is a beauty 👍🏻
I love these hedgerow/barn find videos, getting something running, that most people would probably just drag to the nearest scrapyard! Get this mechanically usable, give it a good wash inside & out & go on a long weekend road trip in it!
The only thing Al, is that as it's left hand drive, the side entrance door is on the 'wrong' side for the UK, not a major problem, it would be ideal for someone touring Europe!
That is in far better condition than I was expecting, Nice find.
I've always thought that model was handsome. The camper body is nicely proportioned too. I say do the mechanicals, repair and paint the cab, seal up the leaks on the body and sell it on for someone to do the inside.
That is a diamond in the rough, got to be saved . With a bit of work it could be a lovely camper . Brilliant vid as always guys . Good to see fudge back , just be careful with that back . 👍👍👍
Used to drive a panel van one of these, would do 55 flat out, had a memorable gear change but would never break down or not start. Where did we go wrong? Brilliant vid fellas!
trade plates of immunity 😂😂 classic
I do love these “adventure” ones where you go off and discover new interesting rubbish . The exploration of the inside was very amusing. It does seem too good to scrap . I reckon it’s best shot is if you two patch it up as properly as you can so it’s a good base for someone to work off , I know you’ve not got time to restore it but just get it solid, safe and somewhat clean
What a beauty !! Driving them is an attitude of mind. Slow your expectations, enjoy the Zen of a slow motion progression and allow serendipity to take you somewhere that a modern vehicle would flash past causing you to miss great experiences. Keep it as is. So much nicer😊
What a fantastic bargain Al, she is going to make a decent rig for someone with a bit of time and money. Fudge glad you're feeling better pal.
At some point in its life this vehicle has most definitely been registered in Austria, the green and white MOT sticker in the top right corner of the windscreen is a dead giveaway. When did that expire? The sticker should have the year and month of expiration punched out. The fact that it's green suggests that it expired a while ago because green ones were discontinued in 2018, newer ones are white. The sticker should also have the registration number at that time, which tells you where in the country the owner lived, as Austrian plates are tied to the current registration and the owner's home address. If you move outside your region or sell the car, the car gets new plates with a different number. Plates are also considered documents and only issued by the government.
I might have to add that Austria loves road salt at least as much as the UK so it's an absolute mystery how this has survived. Probably simply because it's a camper and campers round here tend to be driven for three or four weeks in July or August and you aren't that likely to encounter road salt that time of the year.
The very top line of that green and white sticker should be the registration at the time it was last MOT'd in Austria. Pre-1990 plates had one or two letters followed by up to six numbers, post-1990 ones have one or two letters, one to five numbers and one to five letters, usually 2+2, 2+3 or 5+1numbers and letters.
Great video guys. Those T1n,s are very robust vans very slow but very reliable. Drove in 95 a 310 for a while. Remember that the gearchange has a different pattern. I am watching this upload in my LT 46 campervan on a campingspot in Luxembourg.
Please restore it what an old beast it deserves a new life 👌 great video chaps 🍺
Keep it for a later date pure treasure 😂😂
Has to be saved 😊. It needs the Al & Fudge treatment.
Another great fun video Al and Fudge. Look forward to every episode you do. Some of the best CZcams has to offer. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
Definitely store it up for August.
Loved that episode had me smiling and laughing all the way through...what a great motorhome too. !!!
Certainly a top quality purchase!
Great vid Al & Fudge you can't beat old kit it just works & not obd in sight brilliant 🎉🎉
"The Patina of a bygone age'!
I remember some of the minibus versions of those seemed quite posh too. That looks better than my parents 06 reg Peugeot Boxer camper! 😮
Excellent Al, I still be away most weekends in my '88 207d Autotrail, love it.
I absolutely love the sound of those Mercedes Diesel Engines
Mate, I’m glad I’m not the only one - “I tried not to buy it…” 😆
A man's quality purchase ... love watching you guys 😊
" Mrs 6d likes cleaning campers, just not the house" 🤣.Oh dear Al!....dead man walking. 😁👍👍
Some top quality purchase
A great purchase Al and fudge great video guys all the van you have got in your yard you make one
I think that's not too bad,, definitely worth saving,, and a bit of profit, brilliant 👏👏👏
I had the 307d compass clipper on a 1982 and just sold it a year ago to a lad round the corner from me he loves it.
I only sold as it was to big and no power steering.
We went to Spain 'Scotland lake district and all over Britain and I do think you will find some one will buy it.
Things to do on a Sunday when Al and Fudge release their video on a Saturday?
Rewatch Saturdays video with a cuppa
65/72 PS / 4200rpm 137 NM / 2400rpm 21:1 compression 🙂 I love it 🙂 Are you going to take it on holiday 😉 it looks half decent !!! 🙂
The price of motorhomes these days Al , you should make a few quid on it 👍🏻
Guys that was awesome, I had one of those as a delivery van in the mid 90s and yep flat out every where .
I never ever had trouble with the engine I was bomb proof .
I only stopped using it when I pulled up outside a post office in small village to get some lunch and whilst in there buying a sandwich she caught fire as the nearside front brakes had lit up .
Death was pretty quick tbh she burnt out quite quickly I still have the grill badge off said van .
Oh how that brought back memories lol.
Can't wait to see what you guys get up to next .
Hope fudges back on the mend have a good week both of you.
Mark and Emily at Rooster Recovery
Cleaned up smashing.
You and fudgy could do a weeks road trip to the highlands of scotland with the trade plates of immunity.
You both deserve a holiday
Not a bad old machine Al and Fudge 🔧👍
Nice bit of treasure there Al!
Those wheel trims 😂, what does go through peoples heads, never ceases to amaze me ! In all fairness the camper looks solid, worth a quick spruce up me thinks 👍🏻.
Another good laugh rescuing questionable purchases 👍🏻
This video is so entertaining and you got a real bargain. Great job lads
What a gem of a time piece, solid restoration for someone & the thing cavernous,you could definitely live in this with ease 👍 great find Al, it'd look great parked next to fudgies capri😂. Good to see you two back in fine form😂❤it
What a cracking little purchase, it’ll make a great project for someone wanting to “do” Europe on a budget. Great video 👏👍
Top quality purchase Al
Yes cracked out laughing when it was said you don't want the steering lock coming on when driving it.😅😅
Looks as aerodynamic as a breeze block, still a special find.
Treasure of the top quality variety
Guernsey plates of diplomatic immunity 🤣🤣🤣 class!! Looks a solid old thing though 👍
Not a bad little camper, those 207/307's used to be everywhere
What a transformation!! great job guys!!!
Keep and fix
I think after you have taken mrs 6d diesel in the Peugeot to the festival of the unexceptional see will be well up for an holiday in your new camper 😊
Your face when it started lolol perfect 👌🏻
These OM616 engines are impossible to destroy.
Wow. id love to get my hands on that. Turn it into to a nice camper with the modern amenities and use it to transport me vintage bike to shows and stuff in the uk. Another top quality pur-chase lads. you have to do it up seeing as a man has all the bits to do it. I've seen you boys arsing around with much worse. you could turn a nice few quid on that rig if ye done it all up...
Totally agree about posh valeters! 99 times out of 100 all it needs is a bloody good wash and a quick wax. You're only going to get it dirty again, driving it - and if you aren't, then what the hell are you about?
I just want to give that a good foamy jet wash!!
Now it's had a good clean up it's no where as bad as I was thinking it's amazed me how rot free it is if it was a UK one it would of been falling apart you have had a good deal
At least at some point she was an Austrian and that's 100% as bad as the UK as far as tinworm is concerned. I know exactly two people in Austria who still drive T1s and they both weld everything themselves, otherwise the vans would have disintegrated 20 years ago. Campers are a different story though because most people round here drive them for a few weeks during the summer holidays and keep them under cover for the rest of the year. We aren't anywhere close to the sea so it's road salt that kills cars and that's mostly used between November and March in our climate. Way up in the alps where you might need it during summer I think they're sensible enough not to use it at all, it's mostly in the lowlands where everyone forgets how to drive at the sight of a single snowflake.
I like that! Top quality treasure
Always liked this shape van
Another quality purchase Al and fudgy
Another great video has always al and fudgy 👍
New series fudge and al go camping you two are hilarious
With Mrs 6D following up in the old Peugeot estate!
Fantastic find, far better than sprinter vans. I bet it's ulez and Caz exempt too.
Surely ut can run more power since the om606 can push 1000bhp then less must be able to make 150+bhp
Never thought I would see you move into the erm.....luxury end of the market lads! loads of life in the old girl with a bit more TLC
you got your self a bargain that is a wicked camper looks great i think you should go all out on this one to best you can good camper for some one to enjoy i would defo watch all content on this one as i am into campers with having a mk7 transit camper i built my self
This will definitely live on, with a wood burning stove fitted and some flower power stickers 😅
Top quality purchase Al!
Hope Fudgie is okay, he’s looking a little stiff .
Best van Merc ever made if you weren't in a rush and had some top quality ear defenders lol ❤️ em !
There is Benson & Hedges for smokers and here we have Finds-'em in Hedges and she's a non-smoker. Find the external source of the moisture ingress and get it sealed quickly but try to get rid of all the moisture from inside the vehicle using any means possible. (non- flammable).
Think al prefers Benson & Hedges 😂
We used to have one of those Merc's for transporting our MX bikes 25 years ago, change gear when it won't rev no more. (Star Trek) "it won't rev no more Captain)
Be nice to see you do the thing right out and make it a modern off grid camper van with all modern amenities and a modern more powerful engine and better gearbox??? Make it so it actually is worth a few quid!!!
Honestly, some vanlife hipster is going to buy her anyway if she's roadworthy. Campers are never cheap, not even ancient wrecks. Get her MOT'd and off she goes.
And once again my Sunday cup runneth over, cheers gents
*cant beat a 207d......unreal pieces......great find...
I don't need one, but I think she's actually quite good. It would be a nice project for someone, that won't need tons of work.
This is worth fixing looks good with a wash
Not bad for a pound,😉I will change the interior but depends if you got the time and it also will increase its value to £2.turned out all right.
Thats the best thing you’ve bought yet a think al
Nice treasure will make nice camper for some body, be good project to keep vintage and engine and box swap for modern merc engine???
You should of brought some merc keys and jiggle it Al old van like the ignition switch will be worn love your content though look forward to watching you all the time 👍
WOW AL u love buying headaches!!! I recently done a load of welding uo one door steps sills wheel arches etc etc then the roof started leaking a few months later it runs nice but wont pull the skin of a rice poodin !!!
Bit like a non turbo banana transit, you scream the nuts out of those but you put a turbo on it, you got half a chance of going uphill.
its a guernsey reg al ..not jersey..im from jersey ..enjoying your vids !
i used to drive a 408 luton. slow loaded but a great bullet proof truck.
Treasure ahoy!
That is beautiful , if I was in the UK still I would give you a call....I don't fancy trying to get it to Ukraine though somehow
I love that shape merc cab , you really dont seen them any more .
I hope its not to far gone underneath.
I agree why do lots of people even bother with cheap aftermarket wheel trims! I would rather see rusty wheels and i hate them lol .
Better off with a good wire brush, & some metallic silver paint!
You could do 6D Diesels yard sleepovers more videos please
Shame there wasn't a Eberspatchel heater in the cop wagon would of heated the passion wagon a treat
Hi AL and Fudge i guess its mot excempt then😂
It is actually she’s over 40 and tax exempt to 👍
It looks like something that should be in an episode of Midsomer Murders, some old person who ain't shifting that suddenly turns up to be victim-of-the-week when a dodgy property developer or something wants to build on the land they're occupying, but with a plot twist that it was someone else what did it... :P
An exercise in positivity.
''£1 and a £499 tip,'' 🤣😂
Love one
Save it! Just not as a camper, I am sure you can build something ingenious with it!
I`ve got one of them! 😀
I've got a 207 gearbox if you need it.
26:20 Not necessarily related to the van you were rejuvenating on but curios as what the car was sitting next the black BMW? Looked a bit vintage (unless it was one of those retro Japanese made things!! 😂😂). 🤔🤔
Armstrong siddeley as far as I can remember 👍
Best vans out….. will run and run and run …. Shame about the Renault door mirrors
TIMMY will buy it. He likes MERC and BEDFORD vehicles.
Recovery truck
For £500 that is a bargain. It must be worth at least a £1000 now you have cleaned it.
I will see you guys at the festival of the unexceptional in a couple of weeks.
In Austria (where it either came from or at least lived for a while) it would be worth 4k as is I reckon. The last time I looked at campers the most affordable one I could find was a 1983 Mitsubishi L300, which is considerably smaller than a T1 and even more woefully underpowered with a carburetted petrol engine, with leaky windows (so badly that the owner actually mentioned that in the ad) for 3500 Euros. And that was at least two years ago.
Selling vegan tofu burgers.
Treasure
may be JLR should fit that steering lock to its range rover models . then less would be stolen
I have a pick up ,a 609 out of the European Union here in the sticks in Scotland , minor rust , great engine, all the spares , belts , clutch and so on, do you want to swap? 😆
That sounds rather cool, I’d love to fella but the mrs has decided we are keeping and fixing said T1 👍
