Wow Karak thats a beauty, love the wheels, as we already have an LT camper this one will be more of a day van, hoping to do our first run in it to the camper & bus show at Eastnor castle, is anybody else going ?

As Eastnor is just up the road from me, I'll try and make it for one of the days. I'll look forward to buying you a beer!

95,000ish  miles. Just got a new MOT after a year of SORN. Better do the cam belt soon - it's about to get a whole lot more use than it has for a while! Oh, and a new clutch. Low 20's mpg unless I can find a very strong tailwind!

If you ever have the cambelt done, get them to tighten & loctite the crankshaft pulley bolt [ preferably a new one ]  it came loose on my 1st LT, caused the cam belt to slip !!! not good B-{  they have a repution for this !

Still going - now at 343,000 approx in the minibus; although she's sounding less than healthy. Needs exhaust, cambelt, and in reality it wants a new injector pump and a new vac pump as both are on the clattety side...this may well spell the end for LittleBetty...

LT number 2 is now at 227,000.... Catching up slowly but surely! Engine sounds much better in this one though. ;)

I bought the beat up orange LT40 4x4 that was on mobile.de a few weeks ago. Bringing it to the States. Hopefully get it all sorted and sell it and make a little profit. We shall see though..
