Is that little radiator in the back at the bottom of the cupboards plumbed into the front heater unit and what did it come out of as I have been thinking about something like that in the back of my 109.
All the best Gordon

Thank's for the pics Calum :cheers:

That does look familiar now - Patrick says he remembers looking at it and talking to Kevan at Leafers, and I remember it now I've been reminded of the interior.
I think that was our first Leafers, in Patrick's SWB, pre-Carawagon era for us :wink:
It might even have been the Leafers where John whispered in Patrick's ear about a possible Carawagon barn find :whistle:

Interesting how that's a completely different layout to Patrick's, with a single forward facing seat in front of the cupboard and a bench seat for two.
Patrick's has a double forward facing seat and a single side seat, and his cupboard is on the other side :stars:

Yet another Searle design difference!

Gordon, you can get what are called 'skirting radiators' - basically a 5 or 6" high radiator.
I thought about using them for a room once, so did a bit of research at the time (early 1980s).
It looks like that's what is in Kevan's :cheers:

Cheers,
Robin.

Those front seats look like Dormatic not Searle? I like the starter location , think I will copy that as mine is in the way!

they do actually, Dan, now you mention it.... it'll be 5 years this summer since those photos were taken and I probably didn't notice then!

Hello Kevan,
Glad to see another forum member in Edinburgh.
I wonder of it was you we encountered on the Mound last summer? Us coming down towards Market Street, a Carawagon coming up. Much waving and flashing of lights.
Whatever, welcome!
