[Dannyboy]

Does anyone know of any backpackers car markets in Europe. Preferably Spain, France or Italy but if anyone knows of anymore I would appreciate any advice cause am travelling to Rome from Spain and I will be tying to unload my reliable wheels that i bought in Amsterdam 2 months ago.

Much Thanks

Danny, I am an American and have been researching the purchase of a camper van for my travels in Europe in a month or so. The only market I have found that is supposed to be large to buy and sell vehicles (particularly camper vans) is in London. Here is the info I found on the web about it. While this is mostly for camper vans, there are probably cars sold there as well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

If it's a used van or caravan you're after, one London spot demands your attention: a stretch of Market Road two blocks west of where it intersects Caledonia Road just south of the Caledonia Road tube stop. As you stroll up the slight grade of Market Road and the tops of the vans and caravans that line it begin to appear—mirage-like at first and then snapping, like a 60s flashback, into salient super reality you'll feel the buzz of being in a truly holy place. The place is called The Van Market—the capital letters reflecting, apart from the aforementioned sacredness, a certain state of organization, but an organization which arises soley from the individuals who go there to buy and sell. Although London's city officials have forced the Market to move from place to place over the years, countless groups of intrepid travelers continue to sniff it out, making it, ephemeral as it is, an apotheosis of the European budget travel scene. Most of the vans are VWs in the $1500 to $3800 (£1000 to £2500) range. Such vans—if they're in excellent condition—get about 24 mpg (10 kpl). The sellers sleep right there in their vans and caravans, showering at the adjacent tennis club for £1.5. Of course this concentration assumes a social dimension; indeed, it's not a bad place in which to wile away a few days before you sell your vehicle.
