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.

Re: The Globetrotter.
Found an original rego disc for this van dated 1973.
and the rego papers for the van dated 1975.
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 !
