Lancia Appia Jolly Camper Van...needs restoration...form an orderly queue!!!

[simonandjuliet]

There was a FIAT service van sold in Portugal (I think) earlier this year , it was fully fitted out and utterly bewitching .... I agree with Don, a fully fitted Lancia Service van would be fantastic and very tempting

Don have you got more pictures of the van during your tenure ?

I believe the reason there are so few furgon/camioncinos is that people bought and scrapped the vans just for the 5 speed 'boxes

tempted yes, buying NO!!!! ive run out of space unfortunately and just haven't got the time, however I did have some fun last night as my girlfriends been banging on about either a vw campervan or a caravan which neither interest me or would I like to own as it would only get used once every 5 yrs (that's how often we have family holidays) , so as she walked into the office here last night I asked if she still wanted a campervan, her eyes lit up that i'd come around to her way of thinking, smiling she said yes to which I replied "GOOD COS I'M BUYING THIS!!" and swung the monitor screen round, her reaction and reply I cannot repeat but I was impressed that josh (11 yrs old) screamed cool its a Lancia!!

There are some pictures of the low roof Jolly service van and the Camper in 1986 here

The camper was originally a service van too, I did have some pictures of the fully fitted out interior, but can't find them now. The owner has copies of them too.

I would be interested but i have phobia about campervans, you can see why after i bumped into the Commer van fan club at last year’s NEC. http://forum.commervanfan.co.uk/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7492

Julian,
Just seems incredible that anyone could escape from that alive, an angel was certainly sitting on your family's shoulders that day, when was it?

Shows the scale, as long as you know just how small an Appia is...

Was interesting to see a Lambda Weyman look small - next to a Range Rover.

Digging into my archives is this staged shot from classic and sportscar while I owned 599 NMP!
I have got some photos of the fully fitted van somewhere.

I like the photo Simon. Which copy is it from?

[Jai Sharma]

About 15-20 miles from me.

I'm firmly sitting on my itchy hands!

No very similar but it did not have the raised roof with front window.

Sadly cannot remember which issue of c&s. Got to be 20 years ago as I look much younger in the photo!

Who's was the Flaminia?

[rogerelias]

Just for James meet Burbie

[Sliding Pillar]

I used to own the Flaminia in Simon's photo...... well I owned it for one day, took it in part exchange on a Flaminia Super Sport, and sold it the very next day!

Thanks, who has it now I wonder?
