I've just added to 'the fleet' as it were, it's a 1970 Ford Escort Canterbury Siesta Camper. Two owners, the old boy who bought it new then his daughter, 51k miles.

Now, that's not something you see every day. Looks to be in great nick.

All original soft materials as well as the stripey sides of the roof pop-up?

Is it a single our double bed in the back? Pics of it in the sleeping position?

Is it a show car or do you plan to actually go camping in it?

Put it this way, I don't plan on a weeks holiday in it :D But it will be ok for the odd night or some summer shows.
I really bought it just for the rarity value, I've only ever seen one other.

Heh nice show car that doubles as accomodation. Don't let Rich Wiessensel see it parked next to your DMC-12, or he'll feel compelled to make a DeLorean camper. :)

Would you believe there is also like a fold up 'stretcher' bed above.
You would have to be REALLY good mates though, to sleep three
