Keithl Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hi Geo, I would guess when you say a '508' chassis that you mean a Merc. In which case that means it's a 5 Tonne chassis with an 80 HP engine. That would certainly imply it's a pretty big M/H. (Clive MG's Gin Palace is only on a 4 Tonne chassis for comparison). Post some piccy's and we'll see if anyone can help. Keith.

crinklystarfish Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Above is likely to be correct and it's probably based on a Merc Vario. They've been round for ever, and will still be running forever from now.If it's a panel conversion, it could easily be a one-off. Many home-done conversions are built on the Vario, it's a superb base. Some are done to a standard that would put mainstream manufacturers to shame.
