The Globetrotter.

Post by Richard »

A couple of weeks ago I recieved a message from Martin who had an old Globetrotter that he needed to get rid of. Martin said that it was in poor shape but he had done a lot of work in getting the van to his place and he didnt want the van scraped, and a couple of historic caravan "enthusiasts" had had a look at the van but werent interested, and the only one that would take it was a scrap metal dealer.

So my brother and I took a little drive to go and have a look to see if it was worth saving.

It looked OK from this side.

But this side told the true story.

And it gets worse as you look inside.

Linda even managed to make a proffit on the van when she found this money in one of the cupboards. It is even the old paper money !
