bumped into a German lass a few years ago on a stelleplatz, her VW LT had just blown it's engine (it was a real shitbox )...she was in tears.
"what will I do ?" she wailed . she just loved the Hymer S520 I was driving at the time.
"I'd love a Hymer" she said. I asked how much she could afford.
"well my grandmother left me some gold bars for emergencies"..........
I had visions of chunky big bars stampted with a swastika !!!!!!
next day she showed up with a bunch of small cute gold bars , probably 5 ozs each & we met up with a rather dodgy looking geezer
on a street corner who cashed them in for her....weird !!!!
I checked out mobile de. & found her a 555S about 30 km away...... been totally rebuilt by a Mercedes mechanic in his workshop.
it was a beaut. think she got it for €9500........
the 555S really is a great classic Hymer......she's still driving it trouble free 10 years later.
hope you enjoy yours as much as she has hers.
