Hi, We have only had our 14/2 1979/80 safari since june this year after inheriting it from my dad who is now well into his eighties and was just not using it as much as he used to. I have always loved the van and had said to dad if he ever wanted rid of it that we would love to give it a good home. We have used it at least 5 or 6 times so far and just love it,she never fails to attract attention and we often end up in conversation with people who have had a safari or remember them with great affection,often people with very high tech,expensive modern outfits which never fals to amuse us. we bought a 1992 audi diesel estate called tallulah to pull the van at the vast cost of £500 and the pair are very well matched.We did not feel that our new focus either looked the part or was up to the job. dad always pulled the van with his elderly volvo and ultimately I would like to do the same as I feel they are brilliant towcars.
We ahve a few jobs to do on the van to keep her in tip top condition and the first is to repaint the roof and check the beading,I understand this is available from coachbuilders.Can anyone tell me the exact colour to paint the roof and the type of paint to use ?

We plan using hammerite, but I would be interested to know if there is a special paint to use
