Well i was going to do a 69 model year(Aug 68-Aug 69 next then eventually a 70 model year after that... maybe i should have three threads from now, one for each year so as not to confuse things? |

Don't know that much about it other than it is a UK original Devon Caravette, oldest surviving at the moment, although almost not the oldest surviving as some pillock pulled out in front of me and it is now undergoing a bit of minor repair work. http://com3.runboard.com/bsussexvwownersclub.f6.t11779 |
