After much searching we have finally found a caravan we could afford. It was cheap, and it's old, but it's ours! We had to drag it out of a very muddy farm yard, but it towed home with no problems.Lots of little jobs to do, but it seems to be all there, and I could find no significant damp, so we can now start to get it ready for next season.
The previous owner had no idea of its age, but I am guessing it is around late 80s or early 90s. It is an Elddis Tornado XL 4 berth, and I can see no markings on any of the windows, which I think makes it pre-1992. Any advice would be welcome as to how I can find out more.
------------- Best Regards,
Colin

I Have found a little plate near the door, which has the MGW on it as 925K. It also has a serial number on it which is C47075E. If the last two numbers are the year, maybe it's a lot older than I thought!
Good advice about the tyres, Ronni. I will have to check how old they are. The previous owner told me that they had taken the caravan down to the south coast last year,and there was a ticket from a campsite in one of the cupboards when I went to view that confirmed this, so I don't think it's been standing around too long unused. Apparently, the owner's husband used to work on the farm where I picked it up from, but now doesn't, which is why they had to sell. It appeared to be quite a reluctant sale, and it had certainly been well cared-for inside. A few dents on the outside, but nothing serious.
