Hi Everybody,
I've recently acquired a Voyager which I promised to put into fantastic rust free shape. I found this site because I know 24vman. I hope to be at the Billing (?) show this year to meet you all.

It's blue and in need of new rear arches and a few other bits and bobs. Nothing challenging really. I tried to upload some photos but just get "  " when I press the insert image button so gave up. |

I've not seen one with wash /wipe before but yoyagers are rare anyway It is normal on this model because my 1989 Mexico Red 2.0i Carlton Voyager Estate also had headlamp wash/wipe!  Its what made a Voyager a Voyager so to speak. The Voyager edition was a lower range load lugger that also had a sunroof, heated/electric mirrors, leccy windows all round, 6J x 15ich ten spoke alloy wheels and a sort of tartan interior all fitted as standard with the options being the manual/auto transmissions. As for the "Rallying around in mud" comment.....  HTH! |

Could easily have been retro-fitted But who would bother ? Excellent point! Headlight wipers are gay anyway - and they were soon ditched for later Omega B's. |
