My cousin Phil has been kissed by Lady Gaga, the lucky blighter (he's a music biz techie creative wizard type geezer). I have not been kissed by Lady Gaga which makes me sad.
Hope the Sherpa shuffling goes without a hitch!
My wife has been kissed by David Bowie. Twice. He is no longer kissing anybody, and that makes us all sad. My wife has also been sent flowers by each of Steve Martin, Dustin Hoffman, and Al Pacino. Hope the Sherpa shuffling goes without a hitch!
Sherpa shuffling is perforce a bit of a speculative venture. It is said that people want campers now that we are in CoividWorld, but whether people want early 80s BL campers I do not know. Those who just want a cheap camper may not think to look in classic car advert locations. I could try eBay as well as PH and carandclassic, I suppose. There are a couple of Sherpa campers for sale at present, but both appear to be in worse condition than mine, and they do not have the two litre petrol engine.
Here is the PH advert.

It's well worth putting it on carandclassic as well, it's free and you can post multiple ads in different sections.
It is already on there. It is now on Quirky Campers as well. Is 4500 too cheap? I wondered about 5000 or even more. It is quite scruffy, but it has been pretty dependable in use. Very hard to price one of these because they are very rare and not fashionable.

The PH advert system is dire! I just tried to edit the price upwards but there is no edit button, despite logging in to the ad.
I have never used it to buy, nor to sell a car, and I stopped looking at it for any purpose several years ago. I was surprised anyone used it, TBH.Breadvan72 said:

It's never easy to gauge the right price when you're selling something like this, just £500 either way can put potential buyers off but I think you've judged it about right. Whatever you get for it on the day can go straight towards the Appia and 124's upkeep.

I agree with out a lot of other examples to go on pick a price you are happy selling for and add some wiggle room on top.Lotus next to go...?

You are thinking of old style latex, which was like a wetsuit. The modern stuff is much thinner, and doesn't require talc. It's become a fashion fabric, and not just one for pervs. I know this entirely innocently through a friend (and I mean friend, nothing more) who models the stuff!
I think £4500 is too cheap. Hipsters will think its rubbish, which of course it may well be!
I run a brokerage for old motorboats, in 20 years I've never seen so much activity. Boats sat on the market for years have sold like hot cakes. So much money about that folk haven't worked for. You cant beat a decent bit of Motorboating.

A propos of nothing, I once mentioned to a Canadian colleague that he should shelve a particular idea that he had proposed, by which I meant that he should put it to one side for a while. He looked slightly puzzled. Turns out that in some North American slang, to shelve something means to shove it up your ass.
Some of my north American colleagues do the opposite of shelving, in that I strongly suspect that many of their ideas originate in their ass. Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
