This particular Type 2 (T2) Camper Van was in lovely condition when it was spotted as an exhibit at the 2014 Belper Steam Rally, which is held in Denby, on the 22nd of June 2014. This particular Volkswagen was made back in 1979 and it was first registered in the UK, in the same year, on the 15th of August 1979 so presumably has lived in the UK all its life. This one does have its original engine according to the DVLA, a 1.6 Litre (1584cc) Flat-Four Over-Head-Valve engine which runs on petrol. This particular camper was part of a Volkswagen club that were attending the steam rally so was parked with other type two camper vans.

As some of you already know, we’ve been digging deep into our vaults and digitizing 16mm photolog footage from 1966 to give you our BC Road Trip Time Machine video series. (“Photologs” were created to capture road condition information across the province and give our engineers the ability to study a particular stretch of road without having to travel into the field.)
Looking back on these old reels reveals a lot more than just pavement condition. The camera installed onto the dash of a car and driven over 9,000 km of BC highways captured some incredible glimpses of our province during the heyday that was the 60’s. So sit back, relax and watch a world long gone by in the rear view mirror. Learn more here: tranbc.ca/?s=photolog#sthash.IH22QypR.dpbs

Tuesday, 18 August 2020: our temperature just before 1:00 pm is 28C (windchill 30C), and it is supposed to reach 33C this afternoon. Sunrise is at 6:29 am and sunset is at 8:49 pm. Another sunny day, with a continuing Heat Warning. Much too hot without air-conditioning!
The day before yesterday, 16 August 2020, our temperature soared to 33C. Without air-conditioning, my place was like being in an oven. I knew that I was going to have to spend as much time driving my car as possible. Actually, I had already made an appointment to visit a farm in the afternoon, so I knew I was going to be driving east of the city. I also knew that I would be driving a few other backroads afterwards, though I ended up driving further than I had expected.
This was another great day, leaving home at 10:00 am and getting back fairly early evening. I enjoyed my visit to the small, family-oriented Red Fox Farms, where I saw and photographed some of the ten beautiful mushroom species that they grow for food. All of them grow on trees in the wild. At the Farm, they grow in a special, very carefully regulated greenhouse. I absolutely love to see them as they emerge from the bags in which the spores are placed. They grow and form the most beautiful displays.

Before getting to the farm, I had stopped briefly to take a few photos of Eastern and Western Kingbirds, After the Farm, I drove further north and came across so many Swainson's Hawks - my guess would be around 14+.
There were also several old buildings that I stopped to photograph. Some were familiar and a few were possibly new ones. When I was at my furthest north, I made the split decision to drive just a little bit further to see Sharples grain Elevator and old barn again. This was about the fourth time I had made that drive. A pleasure to look at these very old, weathered structures.
Another day of mixed sightings - the kind of day I absolutely love and find very rewarding. The heat was so awful, so I was very thankful to travel in air-conditioning. Each time I climbed out of the car to take photos, it felt like walking into an oven. Brought back many memories of climbing out of planes into the great heat of the Middle East many years ago.
Last night, 17 August, around 10:15 pm, some thunder and a few minutes of rain. We need much more rain than that, though, as it is so dry everywhere and there is concern about wildfires starting.
This is the first time that I have used the Zeiss Batis lens to photograph the various follies in St.Anne’s Park and I must admit that I am very happy with the results mainly because of the detail captured in the images that I have published online. I am so pleased with the 25mm lens that I have decided to purchase the new 18mm Batis if I can raise the cash. I am also considering the new Sony GM lenses but they may prove to be too expensive for me.
St. Annes is known for its follies, of which there are approximately ten, mainly around the Naniken river. The follies include a Herculanean Temple on a mock-ruined bridge abutment along the Naniken river, which served as a tearoom for the family, a Pompeian Water Temple of Isis on the banks of the duckpond, and the Annie Lee Tower and Bridge near the chestnut walk.
Other follies include Saint Anne's Well beside the duckpond, after which the park gets its name, the Hermitage Bridge, Yew Circle and Fountain (behind the formal walled garden beside the house), rustic cave and bridge, three rustic archways and a rock work feature. A "Druidic Circle" of Giant's Causeway basalt was lost at an earlier stage. An unusual folly is the Roman style viewing tower which stands on the hill overlooking the duckpond. This started out as an observation tower on the roof of the original house. Later, the tower was removed during extensive refurbishment of St. Anne's house in about 1873 and placed in its current location. It is modelled on the Tomb of the Julii at Glanum near St. Rémy in France.
Many of the follies are in a neglected condition at present, with graffiti being an ongoing problem. For example, the Roman style viewing tower is graffiti covered and has been closed for many years. In addition it is completely hidden by mature trees and could only be revealed by felling them, which would be detrimental to the environment of the park. An alternative proposal is that the tower be moved instead to the site of the old rockery, near the junction of James Larkin Road and Mount Prospect Avenue.
In 2010, Dublin City Council, with the support of the Heritage Council, commissioned a strategy by conservation architects (Shaffrey and Associates) for the long-term conservation of these follies, and it is planned to implement this on a phased basis. It is now 2016 and I have visited the park at least twice per year since 2010 and I am convinced that the follies are now in a worse condition than they were back in 2010 and I am not at all sure that they can be saved
1979 Renault Gordini R1326 ( USA specs), 1647 cc Hemi, engine type 843-13, 109 HP, Bosh- L –Jetronic injection, factory air conditioning and power steering. “Decouverable” sliding fabric electric roof over stainless steel structure.
History:
The chassis and most of the running gear came from the Renault 12, while the 1647 cc 108 PS (79 kW; 95 hp) 843-Type engine in the more powerful R17 TS and R17 Gordini models was derived from the engine in the Renault 16 X. The R17 Gordini was to be the last model to bear the Amedee Gordini name fitted for USA with the 843-13 Hemi engine with 1647 cc. Though the mechanicals of the cars were derived from other Renaults, the body was completely new.

Motosport:
Renault abandoned plans to contest the World Rally Championship which it won in 1973. Instead, the factory developed a high-performance version of the 17 coupé at the Alpine Competition Factory which used many of the A110 bits to compete in "selected" European events. The Gordini-developed engine had two twin-choke Webers, a hot cam, an 11.5 compression ratio, big valves and tuned extractor exhaust system. The body was very light, featured fibreglass doors, boot and bonnet panels, plus plastic windows and a stripped interior. The factory said the car's weight was lowered by more than 25 percent.
Its most famous outing was the "Press on Regardless" WRC in the United States, in Michigan, 1974. The Rally was the USA section of the World Rally Championship. The car that won the rally was a Renault 17 Gordini driven byJean-Luc Thérier and Christian Deiferrer, with a similar car coming third.
This car:
I bought this car in California on April 2012. An extensive restoration took place at my shop located in Miami were my friend Alberto Cordero, a former mechanical engineer from Renault, retired after 42 years working with the company, comes to help me with the restoration of the car. He was the chief mechanic of Juan Manuel Fangio a famous Argentinean race driver who won 5 times the F1 championship and Alberto was at the 84 hs of Nurburgring with the first Renault model derived from the AMC rambler named “Torino 380 W” who gets the third place in that race on 1969.
The car was abandoned in a yard and the last registration proving the car was running was back in 1997.
The car was straight, with only surface rust and off course a not running car.
We start the restoration from the ground up, the car was completely disassembled, body was take it to the bare metal, epoxy primed and painted in its original black color. Gordini stripes and logos were drawn by myself and plotted in 3M vinyl with the original scheme color.
All interior of the cabin, floor, panels, back and engine compartment was fitted with anti-rattle-sound/heat auto adhesive insulation with aluminum foil.
The carpet is a velour German carpet, Burgundy color with leather sewed trims.
I have owned the same model back in Argentina in 1979 so I was completely familiar with the car, and after owning more than 60 high end cars in my life, I always remember the R17 as an outstanding performer, economical yet powerful and beautiful car.
The outstanding design of the “petal” seats, the sliding electric roof that leaves the car completely open, the pillar less design makes this car shine out of the crowd not only now 35 years later, but back in his own era. The feeling you will have driving the car with the roof open will be better than in a convertible car, no wind noise at all.
All parts replaced in the car are original parts coming from France, Argentina, Israel, Puerto Rico, USA.
All suspension, power steering, brakes, hoses,fittings, etc. has been replaced. Engine was with original 45,000 miles, we disassembled the engine, head, valves, gaskets, replaced all necessary parts to meet the original compression specs with 150 PSI on each of the 4 cylinders.
All Bosch –L- Jetronic was overhauled, new sensors, valves, vacuums, switches, electric fuel pump, new injectors, etc. were replaced for original parts, most of them from Germany and others locally as the R17 share most of the injection parts with the BMW 2002 TTI.
The antipollution system was restored at his original state, overhauled air pump, new vacuums, valves, sensors, brand new catalyzer.
New original windshield was fitted to replace the scratched one in the car, new upgraded upholstery in German leather as the original car was fitted with grey cloth. The petal front seat is articulated and adjustable on the sides and behind the knees for firm support as a sport car should be. Is hard to think that 35 years ago this outstanding design on the seats are still bringing one of the most comfortable position that I have had in most top of the line cars.
The car runs perfect, as a brand new car!!!, all electric and electronic components are in 100% working order, the Air conditioning was upgraded with a new Sanden compressor, new condenser, new hoses, blows at 10° Celsius (50 Fahrenheit degrees) as per original specs.
All around upgraded LED lights fitted in back up, brake light, directional lamps. New 4 halogen YELLOW headlights with 45-70w halogen lamps.
Original vintage CIBIE fog lights with covers as the Rally version.
Pioneer stereo with hand free Bluetooth phone and 4 stereo speakers.
The car is fitted with disc brakes at front wheels and drum at the rear wheels with a servo booster and brake limiter valve with weight sensor.
All weather trims were replaced with brand new weather strips.
I have published this car at the Amicale R15 R17 website, you will see the comments on the most important website dedicated at Renault 15 and 17 and you could check the comments of my fellow members about the car on

London General DMS2310 typifies the type in their latter days looking a tad unkempt and uncared for, a condition that I actually liked them in. Never LT's most popular of buses, it took them a long time to adjust to the needs of the Fleetline and many of the early ones were sold on after little more that six years service, in most cases to operators who found them to be more than capable of doing the job they were built for.
The ones that remained with LT became trainers with the exception of the later B20 type which were overhauled and remained in service.
Although much maligned they carried on regardless with early ones re-entering service with the Kingston Bus initiative of the late eighties and some being repurchased from Western Scottish for the Bexleybus venture.
DMS2310 looks in need of some TLC in this view but being late in its career a repaint wouldn't be forthcoming but would no doubt continue with its role until finally bowing out without ceremony in late 1991.
