Incoming! Caravelle content

So been hunting fairly casually for a few weeks and not quite finding what I wanted within the budget, I spotted a lovely looking Caravelle for sale up in sunny Birmingham. Actually there were 2 we were interested in at the garage and although the black one only had 44k miles on it, it obviously hadn’t been that well cared for so we plumped for the other which is really nice condition at 75k miles. It’s a 66 plate 204 (yes, I know!) 4Motion with seemingly all the toys, which drove and pulled really nicely. Full main dealer service history and as I said, fantastic condition. Slightly nervous about the 204 thing but I guess we’ll see.

Only decent outside picture is one my my 11 year old took so looking forward to picking it up on Friday.

I’d like to do a couple of things on it early on…some ClimAir wind deflectors, a spoiler of some sort, possibly some roof bars and down the line, look to change the wheels and perhaps a front bumper/ splitter thing but will have to save pennie’s for that. And suggestions for quick, cheap mods gratefully received!

Nice!

Essentials:

Dash rubber (assuming Caravelles are the same as vans, with a gap at the front of the dash);

Skoda windscreen wash filler cap.
 
Congrats on your new van - this may well be the best sprog carrier you’ll ever buy! I wish I had bought one when mini-JOG #1 arrived….!

Dongle for wireless CarPlay if you don’t have it!

I know….we’re now asking ourselves why we didn’t get one years ago! We did have a
Peugeot 5008 but the back 2 seats were not the most practical.

Ah yes….good shout…keep meaning to get one for our other car. Any recommendations or are the all much of a muchness?
 
Hello van twin! I bought an almost identical Caravelle (although the 150 engine and non-4 motion) from the same place this time last year! Enjoy :)

Funnily enough, I think I spotted a post last night of yours with that picture!! How funny! Assume you got on ok with them? He seems to be getting into Caravelle’s and Kombis now as well as the sports cars
