Bodywork is all good. One nasty piece of wood, but that's all. Interior is a mess. Booked in for MOT on Monday

Thanks Lou (you are ahead of me
will post cheque today). He / She was registered Nov 61. Traffictors still fitted but taped down so I will try and resurect them. Interior nasty but I've got good replacement front seats to pick up next week and I'll be buying a new carpet and headlining too

After some deliberation we have named him "Jack" after the old boy who owned him from new until 2 yrs ago.....

So 'she' is now called Jack...
One comment on trafficators on a traveller - they are positioned so that when you indicate left to pull to the kerb, and the passenger gets out of the door, the trafficator often gets snapped
This can be overcome by fitting a cutout switch on the A-post so the trafficator drops when the door is opened.

not just on travellers that...stupid girlfriends stupid friend broke my 55 year old trafficator. stupid stupid. but i got over it obviously.
i would also like to add that my girlfriend, and her friend are not stupid, but very lovely, but right at that minute...stupid!

It was a he/she of unknown gender at first - now decided that as we have one girl the other should be a boy, that way we may get more
Will make mental note of trafficator issues - Thanks

Nice.
Is that just a coincidence with the number plate?

Yes, pure coincidence. Lots of them really. Both cars have similar plates, both cost the same money, both bought on a Saturday and MOT'd the following Monday (hopefully). Both local cars. Both delux versions with the duo tone trim - I think I was meant to have this one !!!!

Jack has now passed the MOT
All I got to do now is sort out the pretty bits

Cheers - I think I'll be replacing the wood sooner rather than later as I have found another couple of iffy bits but the MOT guy was happy with it so maybe just me? I really love the Travellers - They seem just so "right" in lots of ways

It has been mentioned that there should be a "Jill"
All he needed was the brakes stripping and adjusting and a number plate bulb
I've also treated him to 4 new tyres !!!!
