'68 Mini-Carawagon
By: Stuey Date: September 14, 2013, 3:32 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Today, with the help of Mr Gadget I finally collected my latest
acquisition, a 1968 Mini-Carawagon. The previous custodian being
Loz2286 so you may have seen it around.
I saw the advert after Loz had advertised it over on the Series
2 forum, however we were in France for another 10 days. We
ended up talking on the phone and after a little coaxing I ended
up agreeing to buy it. That was at the beginning of August,
but with holidays (ours and Lozza's) weekends were pretty fully
booked and this was one of the first weekends we had to get it
sorted, so myself and Gadget took a drive down this morning to
collect it.
It doesn't look like much at the moment but I bought it for what
it was, that being a 88" Searle Sleeper conversion. This being
the 'Mini-Carawagon' model, Priscilla (my other) being a 'Searle
Safari'. All the Carawagony bits seem to be there, but the roof
is missing it's trim. It is yet un-named but she will get named
as and when a suitable one is thought up! Current plan is to get
the roof and doors on it so I can store some of the bits and
pieces in it and get the steering box & wheel on it (so it can
get it shifted around)
Some pics:

Two carawagons in one family is pure greed! Do the decent thing
and let me look after one (when you've rebuilt it, obviously)

Have long been intrigued by the idea of a mini carawagon like
modification but unable to find many details. Will be watching
this with interest to glean as much info as possible >rock<

You have either been living under a rock or not paying attention
to my one of my other threads, namely the 65 Searle Safari
