I came across an ad in Gumtree classifieds ( Sydney ) selling a classic 70's fibreglass Olympic Riviera 16' van for $1,500 negotiable......would be an excellent buy for a project ! The elderly lady has had it since the 80's but it's been used as storage for several years now in her backyard....so unregistered and unroadworthy in present state. It's sitting on flat tyres and suspension would need refurb, but seems structurally OK. Outside covered in lichen/moss will need a big cleanup, window glass all intact (but rubber seals shrunken etc and need attention). Would need to take away on a flatbed. Outside skin seems fine & door locks, inside a little plywood water-damaged ( mainly between the 2 rear windows ), inside furniture is wooden framed not moulded fibreglass, floor seemed a little soft but covered in glued-down carpet so I didn't inspect further. Sorry couldn't find the chassis number for Bob. Anyway I took some photos with my phone so if anyone's interested I could email you some pics. Basically it'd be too much for me to handle on top of work...but deserves saving ( these Riviera's are pretty rare )...and it's cheap-as ! So the lady's name is Sandra....telephone 0409909574...location is Lalor Park near Blacktown , Sydney western suburbs. The ad on Gumtree only had 3 pics & little info so might not get a lot of interest so get in now & snap it up someone !! PM me if you need pics. Cheers - Steve.
