I think this might be a strange vehicle request but here goes!!!!

My wife and I have just finished restoring the birthplace of Dylan Thomas to its condition in 1914 when it was bought as a new house by the Thomas family a few months before Dylan was born in the front bedroom.

We will be letting it as an experiential self catering house - you book for, say, 23 February 2009 and enter the hiouse on 23 February 1915 - complete with newspaper, wind up gramophone but no tv, radio or phone! See pics of house here

We also intend running tours of the area and are looking for a vintage style minibus - the local Ford dealer used to have a kit made one as a courtesy car but have sold it.

Does anyone know where I might find one secondhand or a new kit maker? Manufacturers names would help then at least I could google them

I've never seen a vintage mini bus kit. But I have seen a vintage van.

Could be adapted????

Or have a word with Beauford I've seen a number of their vehicles customised, I'm sure you could convert one to a Charabang stylee.

Hi the only ones I know of are not kits I fear but have a look at Asquith Motor Co in Wimbledon @ [url]www.asquithmotoirs.com[/url] who produce a model called the Branton which is a 16 seater and Asquith Vintage Classics in Doncaster
@ [url]www.vintagemotorcompany.co.uk[/url] who made/make a model called the Bramwith. I'm sure there is another manufacturer who made a kit will look in my archives (old books !!) and see if I can find them
