We hope you enjoy the new look of the third generation Hazel Armstrong website that now has full handheld device compatibility! Whilst we were at it, we reviewed and updated all articles to include our experiences over the years with the good, the bad and the ugly since completion of the restoration in 2005. On top of that, We've added many previously unpublished photographs to the restoration articles to further illustrate the works.  Finally, the photo album has been replaced with an Instagram feed that is regularly updated for you to enjoy.

Personally, I am not a big fan of naming objects. Unfortunately, reality seems that there is no way around it. Hazel Armstrong is not my name, but the name of our Kombi. Having a Kombi with both a first and a last name seems a bit awkward, so let me explain: we found bucket loads of hazel nuts during the first clean out of the van, hence the name "Hazel". She must have provided shelter to a diversity of rodents that kept their winter supply of food in the loading bay.

The last name "Armstrong" has a slightly less self-evident explanation: inside the van we found a wrapping of cigarette rolling paper, the inside of the wrapping showed a picture of some fishes with their Latin name "Hyphessobrycon Armstrongi"
