Wilson Wheel Works "Sapphire 12"

[northernlander]

Hello Everyone,

My partner and myself have just purchased a WWW Sapphire 12 from a lovely couple Gayle & Javan, they were very nice to store it while I was away with work.
We have it home now and going over it and assessing what will be needed.
Unfortunately while being recovered it did suffer some dame and there are some bit I will be asking about soon.
Also now it is out of the shed it was in the was stored for quite some time under tarps the paint has started to degrade at an alarming rate.
Finally I think from all the recent rain some has somehow tracked inside near the back window (see pics) and caused some damage, can anyone recommend a method to repair (a little disappointed as the interior is in great condition)
Any advise on repairs and repainting would be greatly appreciated.
We are looking forward to bringing the old Sapphire back to life and being able to use it and catch up with this great vanning community.

Regards,

Brendan & Dale

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to fix the interior damage?
This is where I would like to start then move onto the outside
Thank you in advance

Hello & welcome, what an amazing van you have there. For the interior, I would start by removing paint & sanding back to see how bad the damage is. You may end up having to replace some panels which is a big job but just take one step at a time. Might get lucky & just have to fill the cracks & re paint.

Cheers,

Hi SGTL,

Thanks for the suggestions.
Once I get it into a proper shed I will look at removing the exterior paint and see what I am up against.

Thank you

I'm currently looking for a stabiliser let for the rear of this van, the original was unfortunately lost during its recover.
Or any information on the Sapphire 12 caravans would be appreciated, I have had a look through the forum but would like to find more information.

Regards,

Brendan
