HFB 287G Lulu and her history

[Lulu]

"Thank you kind sir" as the maiden said to the gentleman. When you say "as if by magic" does that mean you have some special powers on haloween.

 

[Panky]

I'm very powerfully special all year round

From Mr Brown Lulu was once again on her travels. 17 July 2007 she moved in with a Mr Dann from Chard in Somerset.
He makes his living selling pacific ribs.
These are some of the picture taken at his house in Chard

I wonder if it's the same Steve Loveys of the Classic Camper Club who wrote the Commer File. Couldn't be any one else really could it

Now come on John, don't leave me in suspense like this. What is the Commer File?
and yes his name is Steve so I suspect it probably is him although I haven't been
able to make contact with him.

It was written ages ago, here's a link to the link on the home page, look down the right hand side.

Thanks Chris, so Lulu has a bit of a claim to fame or at least a previous owner had

 

[Lulu]

Well I was the next owner and I bought her unseen from ebay on 30 April 2011
at the grand price of £4100....running total now £9362.05.08
and this is the ebay advert
http://imm.io/1jKxv.

then on the 20 May 2011 she was on her travels again up to Sherburn in Elmet
The cost of the piggy back was £500.....running total £9862.05.08

 

[Jostein]

I think I'm finally starting to understand where this 25 grand worth of Commer is coming from..

Accumulated costs rather than accumulated value.. hmm... right.

Well after just over 2 years at Sherburn, Lulu once again got itchy wheels and decided to
go exploring again. She had heard about this big bad woolf but she wasn't afraid so she
hitched up her skirt and got a piggy back down to Coventry.
cost of moving £270--------------------running total £23067.87
Here are some pictures just before she goes on her great adventure.

Anyway Lulu is down at Woolfy's and here are some of the photographs he has sent me.
If I put them on just a few at a time perhaps Woolfy will be good enough to explain
what is happening or what he is doing.

Bloody Commer`s!

 

[pablo]

Knew the allards as a kid and family friends of the lovey's nice to know where this ended up...small world

 

[Lulu]

I don't know if you're still in contact but if so can you ask them if they have any photographs or information that I can add to Lulu's history, the more information the better.
Cheers
Les
