What an absolute stunner! And in the right hands too! So nice to see a second Hadrian about to grace the Commer scene 
Just keep an eye on that water, Pablo. I shall say no more, but water must be public enemy no. 1 for these coachbuilts, as you will know already.
Congratulations on acquiring the van of the decade! And good luck with your work on it. And bringing it back to the original colour scheme must be the ultimate goal, when the other important bits are done.

Jostein thank you very much mate means a lot
yes water is no 1 concern at the moment before anything. It has crossed my mind to strip the interior out just to be sure as it's such a nice van.
yes eventually I think original colours would be the finished article for me.
Keep an eye on the updates and good to see you back on here

Yes, Pablo, I'm ashamed by myself not attending the forum more than I do these days. Kids, work.. it just takes too much time at the moment.
Have you not got somewhere where you can put it under cover? Far easier than starting to start pulling out that immaculate interior. Being Hadrian, I should guess that it is a tad more complex in construction than the more common coachbuilts (like mine). But sure, do whatever you have to in order to keep the water away.
I'll keep an eye on your updates whenever I can, you bet !
