Welcome at Hazelarmstrong.com

Hazel Armstrong (the van) is back on the road since July 2005, after the completion of a 3 year restoration. We have enjoyed several beautiful trips along the European and English Atlantic coastline.

We hope that the information provided on this website will help our colleague amateur-mechanics through the dark times of the restoration process. Especially these moments when you consider to grab a sledgehammer or a jerry can and matches to get rid of this big, useless, rusty hump of steal... Let us set you at ease, after all the time and effort you have spent, we guarantee that there is nothing like driving around in your self-made van.
