Re: 66 88 Searle Safari LHD

That registration doesn't come up on the UK DVLA database, so was probably exported before the records were computerised. There is a process for trying to get historic info from the DVLA, but it's very restricted now due to GDPR (privacy) which tightened things up a year or so ago! However, we do kn...

Re: 66 88 Searle Safari LHD

Hi Rod, I'm not sure there will be a lot missing, apart from the seats and possibly a table :shrug: The rear windows have probably been added by a previous owner - I think the Safari usually had van sides. Have you checked the brochures in the member's only section of the forum HERE and HERE ? I'm s...

Re: Rear Parabolic Springs and shocks

Patrick's, Phillip's and one of my Project Carawagons are all on 4 leaf rear parabolics, and do sit a little high. Steve's Carawagon is on 3 leaf parabolics (actually 4 leaf with one leaf removed) and is a little saggy at the back end! The Carawagon I'm currently using is on standard leaf springs, b...

Re: Newark Vintage Tractor & Heritage - 8th-10th Nov

Seems like they were trying a new exit policy this year, which I'm sure was great for the tractors as they were loading up on to their trailers before we were allowed to even move. That meant, by the time we got out on to Drove Lane, all the HGV tractor trailer units were joining the queue in front ...

Re: Newark Vintage Tractor & Heritage - 8th-10th Nov

Hi Ian, You have to book in individually for this show. However, applications closed September 13th :thud: , but they usually allow late entries for outside stands like ours - they are a lot more strict on the inside display areas! There's usually space on the LR stand, which is shared with some cla...

Re: Newark Vintage Tractor & Heritage - 8th-10th Nov

Hi Rob, If you're turning on to Drove Lane from the A46 roundabout, take the second right turn. (The first is to Newark Golf Centre.) If you look at the satellite view on Google Maps you'll see the second right opens up on to a large hard-standing area. Head for the portacabin and get your pass from...

Re: Newark Vintage Tractor & Heritage - 8th-10th Nov

I received my entry info a few days ago in the post :cheers:

Hopefully those who applied have got theirs as well. If not, it might be worth a phone call as they have been known to lose applications in the past!

See you there.

Robin.

NEC Classic Car Show - Nov 8-10 2019

Hi guys, The Series 2 Club is asking if anyone has a good example of a S2/A LWB expedition/camper, eg. Carawagon, Dormobile etc. who would be willing to put it on their stand for this show. Unfortunately you cannot sleep in it as the stands are indoors and the place is locked up at night. Let me kno...

Re: Caranex/Carawagon

No problem Matt - the Carawagon which is fitted with the channels/fittings for that awning is still in the restoration phase. I could fit it to another Carawagon, but that means getting and fitting the channels etc. so I probably won't bother ....yet :tiphat: Right - Caranex on Carawagon pull-out aw...
