Restored 1974 Carawagon on Ebay

[RMS]

No, not one of mine

HERE

I'm sure I've seen this one before - the name on the paperwork isn't easy to forget, but I haven't got time to search through the old posts at the moment

Cheers,
Robin.

I see somebody has already asked the seller a question...looks to be a familiar name and location!

EDIT: For ease of later searching...Reg is XPR 241M

i went to look at this one when it was
for sale in ilkerston about 9 months or
so ago. none genuine windows and lower
than normal cupboards.I think it sold for £5000.

Not the sort of question I would ask Patrick

Just some more thoughts on this - the letter in one of the pictures says that the conversion is a Safari Sleeper, which would mean the conversion would have been like the 88" Safari Sleepers.
That would explain the height of the cabinets and worktops as it probably wouldn't have had the Carawagon roof so the worktops are the right height for sitting down.

I assume (though I could be wrong) that a Carawagon roof was fitted subsequently

As I say, I could be wrong, but from Phillip's description and the pictures, I think it's a good guess

Cheers,
Robin.

I have just checked when i bought my
carawagon,so it was over a year ago i
looked at this one that is for sale.

Time flies when you own a carawagon
and life is so good.

Went from 3K to 5K in the last 20 secs, somebody was desperate!

[RMS]

If you look at the bidding list, one guy just kept on raising it until he hit £5k.

The reserve was probably £5k and would still have been "Reserve not met" until that magic figure was reached.

From what Phillip remembers, that's what it went for last time and the seller did say he just wanted his money back

Cheers,
Robin.

What are the odds it gets re-listed.....

Hopefully the buyer would have looked at it before bidding so he knows exactly what he's getting

I'm not sure I'd be happy with the height of the worktop, though I suppose you could sit down to use it

Then again, a Carawagon is a Carawagon, and you can still stand up to put your trousers on

Cheers,
Robin.
