 My new Acadiane I just picked this up today. I've bought it because I'm going to work in France (again) from April up until the World Meeting, and a van's so much better than a car for carting all my crap (and my bike) about in for 3 or 4 months. I'll probably have to sell it when I get back, but I'll enjoy it while I can! It was originally beige, and was first registered in Britain in 2004. It's actually a 1981/82 van. Overall it's really sound, although it is a bit tatty. It drove the 120 miles back home today beautifully, and once I've given it a service it should be more than ready for France. I think I'll leave the crazy roof rack on, but I'm going to paint the cab roof white.

Re: My nw Acadiane Nice one!
Bodywork looks pretty solid, bodypanels could be beter, but have seen worse..
Imported from France I assume?

Re: My new Acadiane Yes, it looks like it did come from France (the "F" sticker on the back of course, plus there's a "next service due" label under the bonnet which is all in French).

Re: My new Acadiane Looks nice Jono. I'm not really a Dyane fan, but I quite like Acads. they look more finished than a 2cv van...

Re: My new Acadiane Jono, the roof rack will eat your fuel consumption and I so want it. Mine goes for its CT this week. If it passes its going to get some love and attention and a new roof rack would make it just perfect. I am rattling euros while I am writing.

Re: My new Acadiane Nice buy! I like acads, nearly bought a mixte for 1500 quid til I asked for pics of the rear seating bit, then they mistakenly/luckily added a pic of the box section (fuel tank and inner wing bit) that was rotten nearly the whole length! I think 2cv vans look better in short wheelbase form, and acads should have been the only long alternative

Re: My new Acadiane Nice van! Planning on tidying it up before your trip or leaving it looking shabby chic?
