I've finally got round to taking a couple of pics. It deserves a repaint and I don't know yet if any of you know it (so be kind if you do):

Thanks peeps.
This is a classic case of the photo's showing it better than it is. There are lots of little bubbles appearing on panels, with most having dents or scratches, and some even being hand painted with a brush. There's evidence of a couple of repairs too, but it seems to have missed the worst of the rot possibly due to it spending a chunk of it's life in India from what I can gather.
It belonged to a doctor who took it there with him, with a Kashmir sticker on the rear door. I don't know how long it was actually there for but the story is quite a few years.
I've found a company who say they'll reproduce the Auto-Sleeper decals, and my mate can do the paint, just got to sort it's niggles first.

she looks good and well worth a bit of work. Nice to see a camper in original condition.

I'd like to see that, and hopefully you can help too.
At the moment it has curtains but no curtain hooks. I don't suppose you could measure one of yours and take a photo could you, so I know what to look for?
Thanks.
