‘Lockdown restoration from start to finish’

VW Type 25 Campervan Paul and Ruby Adams

'Rosie' was a joint project with my wife Shirley. She did all the curtains and seat covers and helped me with the mechanical work. We bought Rosie on February 5, 2020, and it was a bit of a basket case. A mate who's a mechanic warned against letting my heart rule my head, but just before lockdown I started the work, and exactly three months later it was back on the road with a new MOT. My wife even wrote a poem about it!
