dandy dart on ebay at swindon nearer to you I think.

Here is the auction: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Looks like it might be good and probably worth a look.

Ben

thanks for the link , will keep an eye on it .

24 hours later and its gone up like a cat with a rocket up his a**e.
think this is begining to get out of my price range.
what i am after is an older dart that perhaps needs some work on it but still sound and useable.
ho hum, just keep on looking for now.

don't be too disheartened, as it gets nearer the season starting i'm sure more will be on sale

I agree, don't get disheartened, your perfect Dandy will turn up soon enough.

It took us ages to find our Dandy but it was worth waiting for, there will be one out there for you too. It's early season yet and tends to be quiet for Dandy's but it will pick up

how about dandy dash less thrills than the dart but super rare only made a handful

you name it , ive looked at it, but still cant find me a dart.
to be honest a tatty dart needing some work or almost a full blown resteration would be fine.
welding and fabracation would not be a problem as i probably will have to raze the ride height to match my discovery.

oh well ,will just keep on looking

What you that bothered about a Dart for if you've got a Discovery (sorry)

Landrover discovery i think i read

Just shows my sense of humour, I thought it was funny too

well done mike.

yes its one of those big nasty 4X4 things and shock of all shocks it goes off road as well !!!.

I tend to work as a marshal on rallies such as Wales rally GB and the bulldog classic rally.
sleeping in the disco (4X4!) aint getting any easier, especially when you six foot three.

SO.

that's why I want a dandy dart as its small enough to put up in a forest on the side of a hill in the middle of the night.
the reason I want one that needs work doing to it, is because I will need to strengthen the chassis and suspension so it will take the stresses and strains off road.
I may even remove the old chassis and mount the camper onto an army (sankey) trailer chassis as they are built like barn doors and would give me the ground clearance I need.

this may get me drummed out the brownies but I think it would make an interesting project.
if you let me stay a brownie , I may even write about it with some pictures of my exploits.

Mounted on a sankey would be perfect

Ive seen a Dandy mounted on the back of a VW T25 pickup before il see if i can get a picture

the bloke who owned it put it up on e-blag.
it went for £75.
it ended during the day and i was at work.
I BID A POUND SHORT (BIG BUGGER!)
the A frame had been cut off so it would have been the ideal one to use .
i want an old cheep one as it would be a big shame to cut a nice new(ish) one about.

I have contacts in ex mod surplus as we do deal with them alot

Ive seen the sankey catering trailers incase we need food for a BIG dandy meet

that could come in handy , looking at a few sankeys at the moment on E-blag.

Not at all we will just hire a hit man any body remember the one on ebay two or three years ago on a extended trailer so the chap could carry his quad on the same trailer,i heard it was a factory special.

Id like to see a hard dandy for off roading...Alloy chequer plate clad with rock sliders & jacked up on some big wheels

What Discovery do you have?
