Carawagon?

Post by RobW » Mon Dec 03, 2012 1:38 pm

Looks like a normal 109" to me, what am I missing?

I am no expert, but it has carawagon side panels and "beds". I believe that not all had the carawagon roof, but not sure.

I know this vehicle, I have seen pics of it before (quite a while ago though!)

Looks quite a bargain, but will Robin be home in time to place a bid ?? :whistle:

I'm half tempted. Free reign to alter the inside, it's already lost the original engine so I can TDi with impunity and PAS for SWMBO. And it's local! Downside is the roof, but as it's not a safari type should be able to get that done at some point if needed, but does allow a full rack to be fitted.

Is that two single beds in the back or can anybody see a way they could go together to make a double?
I would guess there are cabinets missing from eitherside of the back door too, so the cooker, fridge and cupboards would probably have been there?

I've never seen one with a configuration like that before, looks interesting! Nothing similar is on the original brochure either: http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/LR. ... erview.gif

You could always take it to Dormobile and have them put a roof on it, far as I recall it's about £3000 including the two bunk beds....Then you could join the Dormobile club too :wink:

It looks like the configuration for the Series 80 3 door, just missing some fixtures! Robin's didn't have a roof originally did it, he added it later....

I'm going over on Saturday afternoon. What's the general condition of the mechanicals? And how "straight" is the seller?
