Possibly, possibly considering putting up for sale my VW based RV.. due to time & health commitments.. I genuinely would prefer it to go to an Eagle enthusiast as it's rareness , although doesn't make it exceedingly valuable, but does create great interest. Obviously I have the relevant V5 etc and you can look at the work done on it on the forum. I'm just unsure yet, but will leave this post on here if that's permissable, to see if anyone fancies finishing it off... I certainly do not want to go down the eBay and/or Marketplace route yet, as his may entice 'tyre kickers' I'd much prefer an enthusiast of genuine Eagle Cars to be taking this on... But, by all means, if you have an interest in the car, please contact me direct...? Thanks All, Titch

Hi Folks, well I think I have made the decision to move my RV on yes.... I think that all the work & new parts I have committed to it are as shown on the forum on my post. I have everything (probably virtually everything except headlights) to finish it off.
ALL VW based, seats, steering wheel etc etc.. The chassis pan is brand new, brake cylinders/shoes'pipes etc all new, just want's bleeding, at least 4 coats of Hammerite and 2 coats of stone chip on the floorpan too.
I have the V5 in my name as shown on a Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet, so that I feel could well help it's value, heaven forbid the Eagle shell wasn't required, 'K' registration plate number (1972) It's a 1200cc engine, which is on an engine stand with wheels, I haven't ran it up, but it turns over fine and I confidently know it ran OK before it was parked up.. that was over 10 years ago, but it's been in the dry. Engine cooling tinware is all powder coated, in orange! I see it as a ready to 'bolt together' project, with very little attention needed to the bodywork and then paint to whichever colour is desired. I also see it as a very rare Eagle RV but also, (sadly) as a rolling floorpan for a VW Cabriolet enthusiasts project, therefore I would want as near as possible to around £3000 for it.. If you think I'm being a bit too hopeful at that, please say so, (politely please). However, I am always content to sensibly haggle.. may even swap for something up & running, car/bike/van/tractor?? If anyone is interested, it would be best to come and have a look, all the parts are spaced around my workshop, but all can be viewed if we make an appointment to come over a have a look. I will supply tea & coffee too, if you're keen, then biscuits will be supplied too! I guess contacting me via here is fine, or you will find my numbers via my trading name of Titch Sanders Machinery Decals.
Thoughts?? Titch

to see you are passing your car on but its a great chance for someone to buy and own a very rare car. I think your price is fair enough. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks Terryrob, yes it is a shame, really is, but life changes some things unfortunately and I feel that a lot of the hard work has been done so it certainly isn't a 'basket case' more of a bolt back together project and paint it. It needs the wiring doing, but there is a second hand loom from a 1972 VW with it too. So if you all know anyone that may be interested in completing this Eagle off, I'd appreciate it. As I said, I would be interested in something else if any swaps were to be considered, really preferably related to motorcycles.. hopefully an hydraulic bike lift would prick my ears up too. I want the workshop space for my bikes really, they are easier to move around & store than the RV of course. Heavy Harleys of course... My mobile number is: 07966 394019 if anyone is interested or would kindly pass it on to anyone else. Regards,Titch Sanders. based in Staffordshire.

Should anyone be interested in my RV (VW) I have just put a file together of the interesting pictures from the day I got it and the work I've done on it so far. Hoping that they will tell the story to date. I can send this on to anyone interested. Ironically, I need to roll it out of the workshop this weekend to do some work on my pickup.. not a big job, but just needs to be inside according to the weather forecast. The RV will not be outside though, it's a big shed, but just means swapping things about. It's with this in my thoughts that I realise how much stuff there is with the RV,.. pretty much everything in reality. It will need a windscreen, which is simply flat laminated glass, but I have the old one for a template! I have enjoyed everything I've done & fitted to the RV, I really don't see it as a troublesome project at all. I have the V5, TAX & MOT exempt (if wished) showing it correctly registered as a Volkswagen, April 1972. 3 previous owners to me, 55,000 on the clock, which will be quite close to genuine mileage on the 1200cc engine. I also have the Eagle build book paperwork, specifically for this the VW one and lots of interesting related literature. Also a Haynes manual for the VW. It should be a fun and relatively straight forward project for someone to enjoy this summer. You will need a trailer to pick it up and a decent van for all the bits. I may be able to assist with transporting the parts, but I have no tow bar or trailer. Regards, Titch Sanders.

Well Titch it looks like there isn't anyone on here currently after a VW rv, Try the FBpage and then its down to ebay and fb marketplace. It would be nice for a club member to buy it.

Hi Terryrob, Yes seemingly so unfortunately... but I do have issues with FB I'll be honest in that I despise being hounded at all hours of the day with... rediculous & relentless questions.., usually, (normally) from just 'interested' folk but not genuine enough to be interested in it and I just don't have the time nor will to be on my phones keyboard answering pointless questions.. do you know if a 'link' from there to here is possible.. there's a 'drink' in it for anyone that may help me, I'm pretty useless at 'tech' to be honest? I accept that FB sets an enormous worldwide audience, but this car to me is for genuine, caring Eagle enthusiasts... someone who can hold a conversation about it etc..
Any help advertising it will be rewarded of course. Thanks, Titch

Hi Folks, I see my RV at offers close to £2500 in reality, not much away from that because there's been a lot of financial commitment to the rolling floorpan/chassis, all new complete braking system, shoes, cylinders, pipes etc, complete new floorpan welded on and totally painted with hammerite and stonechip underneath, decent tyres, powder coated wheels, fuel line, shock absorbers, etc etc.. LOTS of brand new VW parts making it very VW ready.. let alone the hours put into it. I think my posts on here show what's been going on. If anyone is interested, my number is: 07966 394019 and I'll happily chat to any Eagle enthuisast. Thanks, Titch Sanders

Oh dear, I think I may have to put my VW RV on that Facebook or similar... I really do wish it goes to an Eagle enthusiast though...
It's not the money I'm after, it's the space.. that's the reality of it all...

It's not the money I'm after, it's the space.. that's the reality of it all... Titch Because this is the for sale and wanted page, It would be advisable to show some pictures of the item for sale.
I know you have some in another thread, but important to have them here. People don't want to have to search for pictures.
Also Links to where it is also for sale may be helpful, for us to pass on to others.

to hear that you're not going to get to complete your project Titch. I enjoyed reading along to your thread as you were working on this while I was working away on my Discovery /Eagle build. I hope you get the return you'd like for it.

Thanks on that, yes,. I have just ran out of space/time and the 'will' somehow.. much more important projects in hand that I need my workshop for really. It's a rolling 'chassis' that needs the wiring loom connecting, body painted and fitted, a windscreen & lights and ready to go.. I would have thought someone with Eagle likings would consider this due to it's rarity.. But, I don't want to 'give' it away obviously, I would possibly even swap for something running.. then it needn't be a car??? Titch
