Jan, If it's any consolation my window seals have got huge cracks (and a gap where the one piece seal on the door window has shrunk), and I've not had any water come in at all. Is yours water tight? If not, you could use a tube of black windscreen sealant. I did a similar thing to seal the rear side...

I bow to Steve's far superior knowledge on wheels, but one thing I have found out is that Rubery Owen didn't just concentrate on making the trailer chassis running gear that our Portafolds use. They also produced steel wheels on quite a big basis. Apparently the 13" 5.5J steel wheels (that currently...

Fraser, I haven't done anything with my seals yet but Gordon did on his before he sold it.

Wroughton 2009 - CANCELLED

Why not join us on the 1st & 2nd August at Wroughton Airfield near Swindon for the Adrian Flux Wroughton Classic Car & Bike Show. Due to a little confusion last year regarding where people were supposed to pitch, portafold.co.uk has decided to have their own stand at the show. We will be joining for...

Correct, never seen one in the flesh. Although the one I've heard of in the past may turn out to be the same one your friend has just bought. Couldn't say for sure.

Going by what I think I know there could be anything up to (or more than) 1112 Portafolds produced. That's if they used every number and didn't skip any!
