I’ve been the proud/angry/indifferent owner of a 1972 109“ Land Rover Carawagon Continental for over two years now.
I’ve been keeping an eye on this forum for a while and have delayed signing up in the hope I could show you all a good solid roadworthy example of a Carawagon. Unfortunately for a variety of reasons (including my own lack of mechanical skills) I’ve failed abysmally in this but I do at least have an MOT certificate.
I shall attempt to upload some photos of it very soon.
Cheers,
Phil

Hi and welcome
Great photo's, thanks.
My Dormobile is in bits, and has been so for a long time, two years is not uncommon and quite OK.

Welcome to the club...
Interesting pictures. Must be a very rare model the continental. I assume it sleeps only 2?
Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh one day...

Hi Jan and Michiel,
Thanks for making me welcome.
You're right Michiel it only sleeps 2 (plus room for one large dog hopefully).
Looking forward to getting it in a decent enough state to bring along to one of the events and of course to meeting some of you folks.
Cheers
Phil
