Guest Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Just guaging interest:- I have been offered £7000 in part ex today against a newer motor home. After all - the dogs need some comfort. A number of people have expressed an interest in my old van should I come to sell it - well I am. Details as follows:- Autotrail Commanche 5 berth. (double over cab - double and single [or huuuuge double] below) Based on a 1989 F reg, Mercedes 308D - with an after market Lancaster Turbo fitted. The old bus is in need of some tlc to the cab paintwork - but is otherwise in very good condition for its age. She has covered 52000 genuine miles - will cruise along all day happilly at 60 - 65 mph, whether the trailer is on the back or not. I usually average around 30mpg easily. All the usual fittings inside including hot & cold water with seperate bathroom and shower. Gas heating, fridge, full oven and hob. 4 new tyres (less than 300 miles). Need to shift this quickly - as I pick the new van up on the 14th. If you can match the part ex offer today - it's yours. If you are interested, please call me on 07814 624597 to discuss. I can mail photo's etc. I live near Stafford (M6 j14) Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Buzz, Karl - you have a mail via hotmail. See what you think. Thanks Ash - you should know, there has been plenty of good times in the old bus - staying out of the rain etc. To think of it - I have had ladies feeding babies in there, men changing underwear in there, another lady (I have no idea who she was) having an emergency pee in there - she was really desperate - and two old dogs sleeping with their heads in my lap. Good memories really. Mr Chairman - v excited to be getting a Compass Commodore on a 2.9 tdi Merc next weekend. Hope you are well - say hello to Mother.

It would be a 1996 model - but a few more miles - from a dealer in Mansfield. Maybe see you at the Autosport show - near the lumpy fronted people in lycra?
