More Details:1978 DEVON MOONRAKER CAMPER FOR SALE.
LPG CONVERTED IN 2006, COMES WITH FULL SAFETY CERTIFICATION AS REQUIRED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. VEHICLE IS DUEL FUEL SO RUNS ON BOTH LPG (50 PENCE PER LITRE) AND UNLEADED FUEL (110 PENCE PER LITRE). WITH CURRENT FUEL PRICES THIS MAKES THIS A CHEAP VEHICLE TO RUN, WHICH CANNOT BE SAID OF MOST BAY WINDOWS, THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS THE MOST ECONOMICAL VEHICLES WHEN IT COMES TO FUEL SO A SAVING LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE SNIFFED AT. THE ONE ADDED BENEFIT OF LPG IS THIS VAN RUNS SO MUCH SMOOTHER THAN ON UNLEADED. SINCE I CONVERTED THE VAN I HAVE PUT ONE TANK OF UNLEADED IN, I RUN IT SOLEY ON LPG.
VAN WAS FULLY RESTORED IN 2005 WITH A FULL FILE OF PHOTOS TO BACK THE WORK UP. CONDITION OF BODYWORK NOW IS VERY GOOD AND IS HOLDING UP VERY WELL INDEED, WITH ONLY A FEW STONE CHIPS HERE AND THERE (TO BE EXPECTED AS THIS VAN HAS BEEN USED, NOT ADMIRED ON A TRAILER). UNDERSIDE HAS BEEN FULLY UNDERSEALED/ WAX OILED. THE DOOR SEALS HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED FOR GENUINE ONES RECENTLY.
VAN HAS NEW TINTED WINDSCREEN, AMERICAN OVERRIDERS ON BUMPERS, ADAPTED SPARE WHEEL CARRIER( STOPS WHEEL RUBBING FRONT PANEL), STAINLESS STEEL SPARE WHEEL COVER. VAN RETAINS ORIGINAL DOOR HANDLES ALL ROUND WHICH I CHOSE TO DO BECAUSE AFTERMARKET STUFF IS RUBBISH, HOW EVER YOU MAY CHOOSE TO RECHROME THEM ALTHOUGH I LIKE THEM AS THEY ARE, IT RETAINS SOME OF THE ORIGINAL CHARACTER.
INTERIOR WISE, TOP OF DASH HAS BEEN PAINTED, CD PLAYER FITTED, 928 FRONT SEATS (VERY COMFORTABLE), TWIN 12 V CIGARETTE TYPE SOCKETS, LAMINATE FLOOR, 3 DRAW UNIT, FULL WIDTH ROCK AND ROLL BED WITH STORAGE UNDER, REAR TOP BOX AND SIDE WARDROBE. FULL CURTAINS ALL ROUND AND BURBURY STYLE FABRIC WITH NEW FOAM CUSHIONS. POP TOP ROOF IN NICE CONDITION WITH ORIGINAL FABRIC. TWIN BUNKS IN ROOF NEED REFURBISHING IN MY OPINION, THEY ARE USABLE WITH A CLEAN BUT ARE NOT AS NICE AS THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER DONE IT BECAUSE I HAVE NOT USED THEM.
ENGINE WISE IT IS A 2.0 LTRE TYPE 4 ENGINE. HAS BEEN FULLY REBUILT WITH NEWS HEADS, PISTONS, RINGS ETC, NEW TWIN WEBER ICT 34 CARBS, ELECTRONIC IGNITION, ELECTRONIC FUEL PUMP, THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED OIL COOLER WITH GAUGE IN DASH, TWIN BATTERIES ETC.
MECHANICALLY APART FROM ABOVE, VAN HAS HAD NEW CLUTCH, CLUTCH CABLE, THROTTLE CABLE, BRAKES, SERVO, SHOCKS, HEAT EXCHANGERS, CONTROL BOXES, STARTER MOTOR ETC. ALL WORK CARRIED OUT DURING AND SINCE RESTORATION.
I THINK I HAVE LISTED EVERYTHING, THIS IS VERY NICE VAN, RUNS LOVELY HAS A DOCUMENTED HISTORY AND IN MY OPINION CHEAP. I WOULD RATHER SELL TO AN ENTHUSIAST WHO IS GOING TO USE AND LOVE THE VAN AS MUCH AS WE HAVE. THE LPG CONVERSION SHOULD BE THE ICING OF THE CAKE BECAUSE VERY FEW POEPLE HAVE DONE IT. AT £1500 I CAN SEE WHY BUT THIS HAS PAID FOR ITSELF IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS.
