A Possibly Classic, Hello from Cornwall.
Oops, Bad start. Just got told of by Admin for posting on the "What's Vintage" before saying hello
So Hello from Cornwall; Fowey to be more precise.
I was going to say hello, but was hoping to get a nice photo of my 1978 Sherpa deluxe Auto-Sleeper to put up.
Unfortunately the only shots I have at the moment are of the bits I've been working on, so not quite the nice'n'shiny I was looking for, so I've dug out a pic I found on the web from before I owned it to use as an Avatar.
Found the forum while searching for a wiring diagram for the Auto-Sleeper second battery etc. as mine has been extensively altered (messed up) by a previous owner, as have quite a lot of bits unfortunately.
Got her 18 months ago with a basically dead engine (only 1 cylinder had any sort of compression) and she's sat around waiting till last month when she got another engine, and a complete front axle/suspension/etc from a Pilot, so I now have disc brakes on the front and an MOT. And we tested it all out by going the 400 miles to WOMAD and back.
Now I need to get on with the rust holes and getting the interior back in proper order.
Photos Soon.

Re: A Possibly Classic, Hello from Cornwall.
Welcome from Paul and Carol in North Wales
We were down your way at beginning of July stayed at C&CC site at Veryan, hadn't been that area for 30years, pleased to say it hadn't changed that much.
Have you been following the restoration of a Sherpa campervan in MMM mag (or was it Practical Motorhome)?

Re: A Possibly Classic, Hello from Cornwall.
Thanks for the Heads-up on the Practical Motorhome articles Paul & Carol, I never really look at the Magazines, but as it's pretty well the same van, I may pick up a tip or two, although they're not going into much detail so far. and it already looks loads tidier than mine.

Perhaps I'd better not wait till it's tidy before posting photos, or you'll never see it
