Red 90 V8 CSW - a bit faded, but I like it
Bought just before Christmas with the intention of using it for TYROs and as a 'rally bus' when out Marshaling on stage events.

I'll keep this updated with and photos and general stuff. The first event was the Mini-Tempest, the bus was put to work helping with the laying out of the stage.

Great find - I want one!

I just gave my 200tdi a simple polish with Auto Glym, nothing clever and it transformed it Thumbs Up Rob

Yes, the snorkel is coming off - appears to me to be a bit of a waste of time as the dizzy and plug caps are all exposed

Inside:

It's had a Kenlow fan conversion, a new rear cross member, replacement doors and a pretty comprehensive history.

I've managed to talk a friend into navigating on our first event - more to follow once it's been MoT'ed 90 V8 CSW - 1988

Well, it's passed it's MoT!! Mr. Green

I'm happy now that someone who knows these things has had a look. The handbrake is working again, something in the mech was the wrong way round. Also the oil filter was too long and the pressure switch was weeping.

It did fail initially and needed a new exhaust system.

In addition I've also picked up some MTs from eBay so the first TYRO in March is on the cards Very Happy 90 V8 CSW - 1988

I bought a 110 V8 years ago to go marshalling
Spent money on it to make it ready for the job, tyres etc
Then foot n mouth arrived and that was that !! Big Cry

OMG - where did you dig that one out from? Shocked

Yes, that's me. The 90 is going to be used on events, but not the Trackrod. I need to carry three people on that one and I'm fairly certain my navigator would be a little upset having to ride in the back Laughing

Here's a more recent one from the same event:
