Was this a Carawagon?

Seen on eBay: http://r.ebay.com/NpRtin

Rather looks like it is the remains of a Carawagon - apparently a re-chassis. Wonder what happened to the roof and fittings?

Not a bad place to start for anyone with a shed full of the right bits.

Certainly looks like it, with the windows, cutaway seat boxes and the seat back fittings.

It's a shame that the rest of it is missing - at the moment it's just a 109" hard top

Looks like it's been re-registered as well - as far as we know, Searle/Carawagon International were no longer in existence in 1981

Cheers,
Robin.

Insomnia Robin?

I'm amazed at the lengths you will go to be the first to reply to a post

In fact the Carawagon Ulysses on a 110 chassis was launched in late 1983 as far as I remember, I've got a road test of it somewhere

Back on topic, I agree that 109 seems to have some Carawagon features

You know what it's like John, if you wake up in the night and can't get back to sleep.
I give myself 30 minutes or so, then if I'm still awake I get up, check emails etc. then watch some boring tv - I'm usually off again after 20 minutes of tv

Good to see you here, John. Yes, I think my original post was late enough - but that's the curse of being a journalist - work all evening, then can't sleep.

Now, who has a spare roof and fittings?

After no bids last time, this one is up for sale at a much lower starting price.

Finally went for £925.99.

Hopefully it was someone wanting to return it to its previous state

Cheers,
Robin.

not cheap,and with no roof and no interior
it would not be cheap to make it back into
a carawagon,If ever it was one(no P in reg
no)and not RFL free,

MOT'd Series on a galvy chassis with overdrive for under a grand....

Depending when it had the new chassis,and
with a new mot i agree maybe a reasonable
price.I was commenting from an originality
angle,and correct me if i am wrong but were
carawagons being built in 1982?
