We are already booked to park the van outside Prestonfield House in Edinburgh. Sleeping in a van? That's for plumbers doing 90 in the outside lane of the M25.
I take it you are setting off for sturgeon land next Saturday? planning to arrive just in time for the festival
This van is said to be capable of overtaking Dub campers going uphill, but big fat nothing else.
The short term plan is to take almost teenage daughter to various poshstock stylee festivals. I might also rock up at Glyndebourne in the van, and picnic in it if it rains during the dinner interval. Mrs BV wants to do a Johnson and Boswell Tour of the Hebrides in the heap, but subject to the swanky hotel with spa rules mentioned above.
I paid the asking price: £2,000. Seems fair to me. The sellers are a very delightful couple - he a senior dude at the Environment Agency, she a Professor of a very sciency science at Exeter. They live on a narrowboat, their children are off studenting. They have bought a Ducato camper, hence the sale of the Sherpa.

Given BV's eclectic tastes I suspect the LDV guess might be the nearest...so I'm thinking something really left field like a Sherpa motor home conversion, or even a J4 (shudder)!
Both of these staggered into the '80s, just.
Or maybe a Marina Sun Tor conversion.
If it's any of these, you need to get your head straight, sir!!
We have a winner!! The prize is the half eaten remains of the Twix bar. Both of these staggered into the '80s, just.

BTW, thanks for the offer, but I'd keep the remains of the Twix in the Sherpa. It might stave off starvation whilst you're waiting for the AA man on the hard shoulder of the M5. At least you'll have a Porta Potti or whatever they're called.

Buying a BEIGE BL Sherpa camper is going to qualify me to be Emperor of Autos
te for at least an afternoon, but, to anyone who is both here and there, please be schtum about this for a while longer if you don't mind.
I think it will! I like this. I'm not sure why I do, but I definitely do. I'm on Autoste for at least an afternoon, but, to anyone who is both here and there, please be schtum about this for a while longer if you don't mind.te, but I won't spoil your fun! As an aside, I was tail gaited by a Sherpa the other night. I didn't think they had the performance.
My wife and I recently paid £79 for B&B in a first rate establishment with historically good poached eggs and smoked haddock for our brekkie .
We slept in a comfy bed and enjoyed a hot shower.
We did not have to empty the toilet.
We did not arrive in a beige commercial vehicle.
Get a grip.
