Hi Dave, welcome to the club , I have an RV and Spartan, both great cars, just bought another Spartan to build at some point ( it's a 30 year old kit that has never been finished!).
Not sure how much work you want to do, but speaking from experience, the more that's done for you the cheaper it is
Just depends what you want to do with it I guess
Dave Trials has his for sale, a very nice 2.9 inj, so might be worth a call. He is based just outside Reading, like me, so if you do go and have a look, please call in!
His RV is the jeep on the top of the page( fitted with soft too).

Hi dave, Welcome to the forum, I hope you will take time to look at the web site too, (link at the top of this forum. Good luck with the RV hunt, as Ed said, more done, the cheaper it is in the long run as restoring an cheap one is EXPENSIVE! Peter

Hi Dave , I have just joined the forum myself specifically to sell an Eagle RV. My father sadly passed away at the beginning of the year and Mum kindly signed over his Eagle RV to me. It has been in our family since it was first registered on the 6 August 1990. It is an original Rob Budd supplied Eagle kit which my father built many years ago. It was regularly seen at many of the Stonleigh, Newark, and Peterborough Shows. No mean feat considering we drove up from West Wales complete with camping equipment for the weekend. It is a white RV, correctly registered, on a Q plate. A new hood was fitted a few years ago and it was my fathers daily drive up to 2 years ago when he put it on SORN. It has the original white Wella wheels, side steps and bull bar. The gel coat is surprisingly good condition for its age with minimal crazing. The running gear is a 2.0L Pinto from a Mk5 Ford Cortina. The head has been rebuilt, (new cam, followers, valve stem oil seals, spray bar etc). It currently doesn't have a MOT due to being off the road and no time to sort it out. It is also fitted with a towing hitch. My late father and I are the only registered keepers in the last 23yrs!!! Please feel free to get in touch for further info if interested. I am not too far for a viewing as we are in Carmarthenshire. Cheers, Nicola

Weekend has rolled on and did you get it? hi peter,, nope i didnt get it... the current owner is messing me about regards when we can collect..( its a 240 mile round trip to collect, and weve set off twice with a trailer on hire and had him cancel at the last minute.! so as it stands at the minute ive droppped a pm to dave trials on here regarding his black/silver beast and imhoping we can sort a deal..... After id done some searching and head scratching, it seems that daves rv has all the mods i would of liked to do my self (v6..maual.. and so on) and it seems to be a properley sorted truck so fingers crossed.... as with all things in life, it will come down to money..and whether i can squeeze the bit extra for daves...so il keep you all posted..

shame that you got messed about.
I bought a gearbox from ebay for my 2.9, and got messed about, found another one now!
Fingers crossed with Daves one.
Let me know if you do get it, you can pop in and meet mine then too!
