Elizabeth is a 1972 Bay window camper, the 72 model is a one year only model which slotted in-between the early, and late bay window models, this basically means that she has a early front end and a later backend. For those of you who don't know, the differences are in the lights and bumper, the early model has the indicators just above the bumper, and its a round bumper which wraps around the bottom of the doors to form steps. moving to the rear the light clusters are Tall instead of small!
She looks very respectable ,a true lady! however the restoration has started and well it has to be said that the cosmetic surgery that she has had in the past is now failing her! The front and the three quarter view seem to show a camper that is in very good condition, or at least for her age (said quietly!) but when the strip down started it was apparent that a lot of work was needed, although nothing that worried me to much (apart from the roof, but I will get to that later!)
In this picture you can see the tall light clusters which were new from this year, The camper looks very complete from the outside if not a bit tatty!, however there were a few bits missing and not in the right place! the first of these was the interior, which as explained by the seller was in such a mess that I wouldn't have wanted it! (templates would have been nice!!) and the other problem was the engine, which had been removed and restored, but not fitted back in, so I couldn't tell if it worked, however I did get a spare engine so it doesn't worry me.
