Auto-sleeper?

After the last time, I'll keep my opinions to myself and leave others to make their minds up.

I am fairly certain that is not an AS van made at Willersey

I don`t think it is an AS van, quality is lacking for a start and the design, well!!! graphics are not cosha either

As before, it obviously isn't an Auto-Sleeper, but does it matter if it's what the buyer wants at a price he / she is willing to pay? I believe the term is caveat emptor. It's up to buyers to do their research. If you were in the market for a Rolls Royce, would you be fobbed off by a Ford Granada with a Spirit of Ecstasy on the bonnet?

EDIT: the fittings look like they are from a Holdsworth - every bit as good as an A.S.

Nice low mileage example though... I especially like the electrical installation and the very subtle built-in aerial...

My concern is that a buyer may think it is an AS, then join this forum and ask questions that we won't be able to help with. I know it's no different to any vacuum cleaner being called a Hoover.

If it is advertise as a AS and it isn`t surely that isn`t right?, we know our AS many don`t so on that basis it isn`t on.

Looks to my untrained eye like a self-build using the stripped out interior from a caravan. Might be a well done one compared to some I've seen, but with self-builds for sale I'd worry about who installed the electrics and gas & was it done to proper safety standards or just amateur bodge? Anyway I agree with daisy mai, some newbies to motorvans might not know the difference and might think it's a genuine AS product - that amounts almost to it being a pirated product (although the Autosleeper name is nothing like the genuine AS style). Now you can put whatever name etc you want on a van for your own use, but if you try and pass it off when selling as something it isn't....

Are you sure ? ........................................

Looks far too well built to be an autosleeper!

I would not have been any the wiser as the wood and delightful upholstery look authentic to me who knows very little.  I would have been furious to have found out that it was a 'mongrol' van after purchase.
