About 15 years ago I bought one . It was a non runner with no brakes and the front panel was rotten. It was on an "X" plate which must have been one of the last. I got it running and fixed the brakes no problem. The interior of the motorhome was in great nick but the bodywork beat me.I eventually sold it on to the secretary of the Scottish Rootes club. He was trying to get a new front. He probably still has it.

I've still got one, a T plate, waiting its turn in the workshop. Difference with mine is that everything is rotten... At least you can get most of the panels these days.

Some of the rear Lucas light clusters on the Dodge PB had a black surround, others had a chrome surround. The latter, with the chrome surround was common to the Aston Martin Vantage and also the Carlight Caravans of the 1970's. For some reason that I cannot fathom, the left and right clusters had different part numbers with the only difference being the positioning of a hole in the rear of the actual body, and of course the pressing of the part number itself!

Why not make both holes, and save on the expenses of different castings and packaging?

Felt sorry for it really, which is always a bad reason to buy a vehicle... Wink
