Hi All, due to a serious illness and ongoing medical costs, I have realised that I wil be unable to finish off the Carapark Astronaut 15/5 I have been working on. This has been a trememdously hard decision and has not been made litely. There is a lot of interest in them as they are quite rare, and many people have seen this van in its current state: Needs some work to finish off, manily interior, but it is complete and very towable (have just redone bearings etc for recent 400 klm trip) Overall condition is great and it has a colourful history that will be passed on to the new owners as well. Contact me via PM for details.............. Matt NOTE .....this van has now been soldvintagecaravans.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=photo&thread=1476&page=1vintagecaravans.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=photo&thread=4700&page=1

Hey Matt Sorry to hear about your ill health. Guess we all need to assess what is most important and go with that.
Hope she goes to a great home and whoever buys her treats her well.
All the best Atog

Many many thanks to all that have PM'd me re the van. Yesterday the very first person that came to look at it loved it, took it with them and have provided it with a good home, and will start posting on the forum to show how they intend to finish it off.
I have kept the professionally made moulds to reproduce the "Carapark" tail lamps for Zestline and Astronaut vans, and if there is any interest I will do a limited run of them later in the year??? Cheers Matt
