Splitty Travs...

[t_hinchliffe]

How common or rare would you say SII Travs are on the roads these days?

Only the more I think about it the more I fancy one... TH

I agree , they look great, and are quite a rarity, how about a splitty van to compliment your 1000 one?

They are pretty rare, but you'll see a good handful at the National Rally. They sometimes come up for sale, however these tend to be basket cases - the good ones are next to impossible to get hold of.

I fancied one for a while, but when I got one I didn't want to let it out in the rain - that was a pain as it meant my garage was out of action for car repairs when it was raining - however that's when it was needed! I remember welding outside under a tarpaulin - the tarp was keeping the snow off me...

Which seems to be most of the time these days...

There is hope then; buy basket case - restore TH

Steve R here in Kent solid his splitty trav a year or so ago. and yes it was a basket case! So they are available.

[t_hinchliffe]

So does this mean they're fairly expensive due to their rarity? What price range would you be looking at for a basket case splitty? TH

There speaks a man who wasn't there

There were only 2 this year (which made judging them fairly straightforward )

They should not be expensive as only the dedicated collector wants them due to the slower engines. SR's went for a couple of hundred on e-bay. he advertised it here too.
