The 575 Superamerica’s always been the second car to buy in my lotto garage but question???

Would the manual conversion put you off, if money was no object??

It’s a van, it’s silver, it’s big, it’s local and has a super-mega-scene roof rack and a proper BFO marquee attached. Calling it an awning is a bit of an understatement.

(associated trailer is too small for my use)

I won't bother asking if you need it, why do you want it?

That wasn’t the plan. Not until you mentioned it. Mmmmmmm.

Would what fit - the marquee ? :?

Anyway, that T4 is a wreck and I'll wager its load capacity is rubbish too. I notice it's not mentioned in the ad.

The inflatable nightclub is pretty funky though 8-)

No, but although nuttin's suggestion was completely spurious, some covered workspace in the driveway through the winter would be nice. But £7k instead of a few hundred for what a normal person would do ?

It IS silver and massive though.

Sorry, the Disco is covering all van-like duties for me at the moment.

It's not a Vito/V-class and I never mentioned marquee-like requirements.

The consideration being given, and the timescale involved, can lead but to one conclusion; marquee de Slade.
You can fill in how I got there.
