2 in the bench bed, 2 in the roof bunks, 1 in the cab and one in the fruit bowl:D

Some more of these brochures to be had on the image archive, and got some seriously gorgeous pics in the commer catalogues including some hilarious marketing guff and a bit of artistic license - the 14 seater minibus is my favourite - painting shows 14 nattily dressed people comfortably spaced in the back of a PB, something I can't imagine in the back of mine, even without cupboards. When you look at painting again, there is some subtle scaling going on- the people sitting in the back would only be 3ft tall!

I have got this brochure without the PDF image writing over it. Steve Yates sent them to me on CD in PDF format, and I'm sure he'd be delighted if you would like me to email them to you for Frodo;). [email protected]

Need to catch up on all the skiving I've been doing this weekend so will be a few days before I can get scanning, but they are fabulous and many thanks to Steve Williams for entrusting them to me;)

If I remember correctly, the Trailblazer was a replacement for the Wanderer with a new elevating roof design, otherwise essentially the same. If the original cab bed arrangement was carried forward, the seat base slid forward and back came down to form a double, leaving the fruit bowl free. I say double - at eight years old I had to share this bed with my sister in a top to toe arrangement and it was a squeeze, particularly when you wake up with your feet trapped under the steering wheel (the 1967 Wanderer only had one roof bunk). My parents soon bought a tent annexe for us three kids.
 
:D:D:D

I bet you and your sister were pleased - especially if either of you had smelly feet[xx(][xx(]
