breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Fab-u-lous! Although I've heard of Horch, I remember seeing a beautiful example in a motor museum, I have never come across that model before. It's reminiscent of the Riley when Riley was a stand alone company. The price though, I could get a WA for half that. https://www.favcars.com/mg-wa-saloon-19 ... 379483.htm

That caravan does have a certain charm about it, but I'm more of a hotel kind of person. Camping, or even glamping, that's where you spend a fortune to live like a homeless person, isn't it?

I am definitely not a camping person... going on holiday to live like the homeless is not my idea of fun.. i thought you were looking for caravan to take to shows and wait for the tow truck after the inevitable breakdown ... :scared:

Of course, I forgot. Amnesia, it goes with the territory as you get older. The plan is/was to have a vintage caravan hooked up to a car transporter, the single car type of transporter, so that I can carry the car and tow the caravan. I have a modern Mercedes Sprinter, I kept it after my brother and I sold our business nine years ago. Do you think it would lend itself to a different sort of conversion?

Hmm, the areas around the rotten bits look pretty soft, :( but as it

, it may be worth saving.
However, did the ad say that it started the first time after not starting prior to lots of preparation being done, or that they just gave the key a quick turn and it ran in exactly the condition it had been in when stored away? ;)

It must be exactly the thing that some lucky soul has been looking for, but who else :oops: lusts after these nowadays?
