Thanks guys, I like these so much because we didn't get anything like this in the UK at the time, 60's-70's.

Right Tom, give me a shout if you still don't want them.

Thanks guys. My best shot of the roof section is this..................

Today my latest in this genre, a Hawk Wild Woodie which is identical to the Hawk Sandpiper and similar to the AMT Surf Woody..... With it's twin the Sandpiper......... And with the Surf Woody.....

When we saw it on TV and in the press today, we thought it was just a promo joke! Well that's one we won't be buying here in the UK. Interesting to note though that he's hoping to build a very big factory in Germany, soon to produce his vehicles!

Brilliant camper shell, I wish we saw these in the UK!

I'm pleased that we live in the Midlands in the UK. Early this year we had just 2 and a half days of snow, I say that but just about 6-8 inches. Here in the UK if we get 6-12 inches anywhere in the whole of Great Britain, everything comes to a grinding halt! I'm glad we don't live in Canada where our eldest son lives as they can have 8 months of bad weather around -40c and just 4 months of Summer +40c. He has a big pick-up to get to his truck as he hauls from Calgary down into the USA most days, being out for 2-3 days at a time. All tyres with studs on that and on his Golf R, the second one of these he's had and his VW Tiguan also on studs. This was the extent of our snow in February this year, note my cabin, but didn't stop my modelmaking in there!

Our one car, a 2013 Renault Captur Deisel Eco, 54mpg round town 63mpg on a long run. Fuel £1.36 a litre roughly x4 for gallons = £5.44.

Thanks Larry.

Cheers Ron. I love the light pods too, and they came with the kit!

Bought as an 'already started, with the side and rear windows brush painted blue and broken in half down the middle of the rear screen and the front windscreen broken off! Perhaps the original owner saw tinted windows on the boxtop and thought that that was the way to do it! So after a bit of cleaning and removing the brush paint on various other parts..........

Oow leopardskin, cosy!

A few days ago... with no decals, now searching for some........ From 1965 delivered today.......................... I bought and built it's brother the Sandpiper a few years ago! And an already started.......

Brilliant finish, and real cracker, well done!

Well Claude having travelled to both Manitoba and more recently to Alberta to see our eldest son and his wife, knowing how the weather can be, I would choose the lid! Driving in winter where you are would be a bit chilly without the 'Lid'!

WOWEE! It looks crazee Claude even with the lid on!

Superb Jim! Real ratty! Plus the super roofrack!

Very interesting!

Thanks Mattias.

Coming together nicely!

Yes it was thanks Jacob. Nice weather, nice food, nice Italians, superb setting for both the wedding and the reception. So there were three Wickham couples there, myself and my wife of 51 years, our eldest son and his wife who flew in from Canada, and the new couple, our youngest son Matthew and his new wife!

Cheers all. Haven't been here for a week or so, went to Sorrento in Italy for our youngest son's wedding last Wednesday!

Thanks David.

Thanks guys. In the hamper? Well I think it would be sandwiches, salad, roast chicken legs and a cola of some sort, Pepsi or Coke or even my childhood favourite , a real British fizzy drink Dandelion and Burdock, and Ice Cream in the round tub!

I used to buy a few bits from Andy, when he had a website, I think I bought an Escort Mk1 with the bubble arches from him (see below) . But I don't know how to contact him now. It's good to see an anglebox again! A friend has just sold a rally/rallycross version that he used to race in the day! Here's the MK1 built with parts from the ESCI MK2.
