Hit the road this weekend and

It is with a heavy heart we are selling our beloved Van Sandy. We have owned her for five years and she has been a truly amazing companion and a home.
We converted her from scratch with the help of a professional carpenter who specialises in van conversions. We really would like her to go to somebody who will enjoy her as much as we have.
If you are looking for a vehicle to last you a lifetime, Sandy is the one!
