This is our van “Vanessa or Nessie” before we set off on our adventure; having a paddle in a fast rising Norfolk Spring tide and finally a distance shot on the old wharf near Redcar.

BOTCANU - I like your stars. Is yours a 609?

 

[daygoboy]

A friend's 609d, LWB coach suspension, a factory bought van with bespoke yacht builder interior.
cost a small fortune. This pic. was about 1992, lack of windows, s/s bars and grilles were primarily for
security on our Africa trips, this van has since bit the dust, whereas mine soldiers on..... and hopefully on.

Mines a 614 Vario. 4.3 litre engine with a speed limiter of 63mph fitted ( from when it was a coach )

Ours seems to have its own natural speed limiter of about 55mph!! (Or 18mph going up the Scottish mountains yesterday )

With 136bhp and a fairly high axle ratio you should easily get 70mph on the flat. Even my 86bhp
will get to its geared 63mph maximum and the 609d with 86bhp will get near to 70mph.
