Hi from North Yorkshire
In the next couple of weeks I will be collecting a 2000 (W) VW Topaz and looking forward to the freedom it will give us. I haven't many of my own images of it yet but here's a teaser from when I viewed it on Monday. I've added an image of my other set-up, Matilda, my 1970 Morris Minor Traveller and 'WOT' the Puck taken last week on the A66 as we returned from Scotland.

Re: Hi from North Yorkshire
We looked at the Topaz before buying our Duetto. Nice van but missed a few points for us. It would have had less rust issues than the Duetto we bought but that’s in the past.
The Morris Minor Traveler was used for driver training during my time in the army. I drove one as a staff car for a short time. It was fun trying to get a large WRAC officer out of the back when she had been in the mess and downed a few. She would not sit in the front.
My foreman at the bus garage had a lovely pale blue traveler. He used to rust proof it when I was on shifts as duty fitter at the weekend.

Re: Hi from North Yorkshire
My Topaz sends warm greetings to your Topaz ... and my very first car was a Morris Van, bright yellow, ex-post office. I'll not forget the day it breathed in to squeeze past a flying post jaguar on a steep hill near home! nor the day it's gearbox sort of fell apart and I had to drive 7 miles in 1st - late home to Sunday lunch! not approved of! Hope you enjoy your Topaz as much as I do mine.

It was raining most of the way home but today it has brightened up. We managed to take it over the North York Moors today on one of our regular local runs.burlingtonboaby wrote:Hope your getting better weather than we are here on the east coast,as they so "go west"
Nice wee van.

A loo with a view! For those less in tune with nature the door and blind can be closed...
