Apparently the autox net can't handle .bmp files, or you could see a
picture of my camper...after all a picture is worth a thosand words.......
So, some info....the Funwagon was very similar to the VW campers of the
same period. Basically a van body with a camper interior and a pop-up roof.
The Highwayman, however, was a full blown "caravan" by British
definition....coachbuilt body on a van chassis... a little like the smaller
American motorhomes with a van nose and a box body.( After having to replace
50% of the framing in the box section, and I still need to replace more,
there are times when I wish I had the Funwagon!)
The engine was stock Hillman Minx...1494,1592, or 1725 dpending on the
year; cast iron head, single 1bbl downdraft carb. VERY slow. I'm in the
process of building a Alpinized version with alloy head, Alpine cam, .030
over pistons, etc. so that I might actually get the thing up to 60-65 mph
without hurricane force tailwinds!
