Hello all,

I am struck a deal to buy the remains of a British Army Carawagon.

I am located in Eastern Canada, specifically mid way between Toronto and Montreal.

Regards

Robin Craig

Welcome Robin,

Another country with Carawagons...

Hope to see some pics soon...

You come to the right place, lots of Carawagon knowledge here...

Cheers,

Michiel

Well, quite a bit of time has passed and what was a sure thing failed. My attempts to buy 16 GN 07 stumbled when I called the owner when I had the cash.

He decided that he was going to keep the vehicle.

I took the high road and sat on my hands and kept my mouth shut. Anyway, long story short, it came up for sale again and I reluctantly paid the man what he asked for because I know the chance to buy something doesn't come along often.

I have concluded the deal and the vehicle is home. Along with it came a plastic shopping bag with a lot of paperwork. It details where it came from and when and how.

I will put more up in the coming days.

I have started collecting the simple to find series 3 parts and common military bits.

The vehicle runs, of a fashion, off a jerry can.

Well done

Looks like a bit of work to get it back to it's Carawagon spec - is that what you intend to do with it?

Cheers,
Robin.

Hello there again Robin,

Yes, you are correct, full restoration back to in service military condition. A bold goal and a lofty one considering I have 2 other restorations underway and an unfinished garage.

So far I have had all the military pioneer tool brackets sourced locally, another windscreen, all the jam jar lights, a set of military seats another steering wheel.

I am going to collect parts but no work until the garage is enclosed, as that is more important now.

The roof actually really offers me a challenge that appeals to my fabricator brain, same as the roof rack. I am hoping that folks can help me with various pictures over time of various parts.

yours Robin
