Hi,
My dad used to own this vehicle. She was an unmissable bright orange colour. We got her in (I think) around 1973/74. We covered several thousand miles in 'the OC' as my sister and I christened her. Favourite memories include the yearly week in Hastings (where Dad used to park her next to the crazy-golf on the sea-front early every morning to use as a 'base' during the daytime). Another (strange) memory was the trip back from Brighton in August '84 when the thermostat gave out just as we reached the M25, and having to be 'recovered' by Shaw Brothers' (in Markyate) Breakdown Services and taken all the way back to Rugeley, as they couldn't get hold of a thermostat for love or money!
Unfortunately, this began to spell the end for OC as we then got a new car, and poor old OC was left, unloved and dented from a swipe by an articulated truck, in the rear premises of a garage owner friend of ours. She did find another home for the princely sum, I believe, of £150! Apparently an elderly couple in Little Haywood, with the time and money to spend on her. I really wish we'd held on to her now, and hope that there is a good home somewhere loking after her.
p.s. We still have the awning to fit her here at home minus, I think, just one or two tent pegs for any reasonable offers!
