Cool, look forward to seeing the photos - is it an early one, with the fins on the roof?

IIRC the earliest Portafolds have a tubular chassis, whereas later ones have a box section job. I think mine went to a classic caravan club member, was re-painted, then I lost touch with it, this probably 13/14 yrs ago.

How's the interior in yours?

I have one to sell in similar condition (Rooneytunes I've sent you a PM). For restoration; stored under cover but glass needs replacing in all four windows.

Included is the original moulded sink and drainer which fits across the front and doubles up as an extra bed.

If interested phone 0758 zero 800579.
