From: Brian (Original Message) Sent: 26/04/2005 22:14 Just sold on ebay, the owner claims it is a 1986 that I thought was a typing error until I noticed the back and in particular the rear lights, that are certainly more modern than any other I have seen. Any thoughts?  |

Rear end is 1981/2.
May have come in during the course of '81, but certainly this is the pattern which my parents had on both their '82 14/2 and on again their subsequent '81 14/2.
See also my message at Exterior Changes - 4th message, and the photo to which I referred for this date: Kyte1938\p1010021.jpg This 'van is stated to be 1981.

Have only just realised ... ...
Note that the louvred loo window has been discontinued on these 'vans right at the end of the run.
Seen on this one, and on Kyte1938's one, and it now seems very familiar as almost certainly the same as my parents' two successive ones.

Oliver I am not finding it very initiative to get round this site. I just stumbled on this thread.. This is my caravan.. I bought it 10 years ago from a Caravan dealer in Horsham (not ebay). I have never claimed it is 1986.. its 1981.. someone has done a lot of mods.. If ever I find the photos on this site I can point you at the name plate.. Carole the Caravan.. Its still going well and getting a lot of use. Had to have the roof resealed this yea. Got a bit of damp in.. all the best to everyone.. |

Sorry you are having trouble finding your way around this new board, if you have a specific problem let me know and I try to give you some advice.
I am not sure where the reference to 1986 came from - this was an early thread on the old board and I just cut and pasted its contents, but if you are sure it is your safari and you owned it at the time, i can only think that it was a typo on one of your messages or someone used your pics in an advert.
The transfer of the photos from MSN to here is a long and involved process that I am slowly working through.
