Hi All,
Newbie today so hoping this is the right place to post. Im the new owner of this old lady and am looking to do her up, all on the back of google and some power tools. I cant find her anywhere on the internet andam trying to source a manual and a date of manufacture, can anyone help a damsel in distress?

Thanks for your replies guys, i have googled (was up till 4 last night!) but can't seem to find my lady...ones that are similar but not exact. Good thing is that i trawled through so much that i'm fairly confident on what to do, leaving electrics and gas to an expert though!One thing you may be able to help with though.....how do you know if the chassis is in good nick without crawling underneath???

Visual inspection is the only way.

from a 1989 or 1985 model

how to identify = plate on the drawbar somewhere (could be under a box if it has one) first two numbers give year model.chassis is most important for your safety,get a mobile engineer to check it.
