It might also be interesting to find out how many 5 door were sent to Searle - we've only seen 4 or 5 LWB SW Carawagons pop up in the last few years including Patrick's, so they must be uber-rare!
Anecdotally Robin, from memory when I was slogging through the factory records I seem to remember a fair few Export SW being listed as going to Searle particularly 6 Pots, indeed i think I am on record somewhere as suggesting that most of the 1967 export chassis run went to either MW or Searle, I think there may be more 5 doors out there than you think!

Sorry Dan, been off the forums for a good 18 months, just settling back into a life on good old Yorkshire dry land again, will see what old PM I can find and try to respond or may be quicker to resend me your chasis number and I'll have a look.

I have owned 26203628B fo a very long time now, originally as a family camper, then used as a mobile workshop in the dales for 18 years!, then arrived foot and mouth and moved to Italy where it has been converted to 200Tdi and 5 speed and is awaiting return to the road as a camper.
You can update your records but I intend to keep it and am looking for a cemetery where I can be buried in it (eventually).
Think I vaguely remember seeing yours round and about from when I was working out of Chapel le Dale in 2000 to 2003, will check the chassis number and get back to you.
kind regards
Phil
