Just bought this off ebay:

Very good read. Just the right sort of little book to keep in the van. Of course there was a side with this Wink Very Happy

The caption to the pic states that it is apparently complete. What´s obviously missing Wink

Oh well, left in the dark.

I was referring to the absence of a wheel arch cover. They were missing on my van. A kind gentleman in Hull who has a Vogue let me take his over to Sweden to get copied Smile I had some forms made using his covers as a template. Then, as a reward for his faith in human nature, I sent him a new pair....... in carbon fiber Wink They shouldn´t crack for a while Laughing

Sorry. Knave plates, or nave plates, are usually referred to as hubcaps, even by me unless I've been drinking.
And Fred Flintstone was a cartoon caveman who, if he had been a caveman caravanner, would have owned a caravan that looked exactly like a Willerby Vogue that he made from a dinosaur egg.

Thanks. I´ve never heard the phrase -Naive plates- before Shocked Get the Fred Flinstone connection now (a bit thick). I´m in the process of fitting out the -toilet- in the Vogue. I understand that the toilet area was left blank when they were sold so I don´t think there was any official fittings from the factory. Got a nice corner basin off ebay which I´m going to fit and -box- in the wheel arch so there is a bit more storage for -toiletries- as it were. There was no table in it when I got it so that´s being made. Then it will be just about finished Embarassed Ten years on Shocked
