Thought I've seen these in brochures and (One) pictures on here of one on the road, I've never seen one myself yet,

would be interesting to know how many of them still exist

remember seeing that picure of the Saab with a camper on, bet that tailgate is heavy to remove though to fit camper

Make you wonder who the target audience were for those campers

It can be a little more insane! Bischofberger made really cool V dub caddy conversions, both fixed and demountable. They had also an odd extended V dub T25, just by adding an extra long 'butt' to the van, but the Audi wins in 'coolfactor'.

Jude if you have an agenda of your own with this publication just ask if its OK to push it first please




(its a politeness thing)

That Lada looks similar to this, though not as ugly. I seem to remember it was a kit by Kontiki that you could build on a donor Cortina or similar

It is a Spartan Starcraft as stated a kit car - produced in Nottingham - there were 2 versions 4 wheeler and 6 wheeler - Usually using the P100 not a Cortina. The P100 shared the Cortina wings and front door of 2 door model - used Transit Hubs 5 stud wheels. I know of someone restoring one at the moment.

Sorry for late reply - eventually I worked out how to find your post.
Those bonnet catches are typical kitcar - most shocking thing about it is due to the lack of ground clearance, and forethought during the design stage, the fuel tank is inside the habitation area!

That doesn't sound a very good idea does it
