This is a 1968 Portafold folding caravan that has been in the ownership of one family for the last 40+ years. It now requires some TLC to get it back to a fully useable condition.

I have already fitted new lights and got them working. And fitted a working second hand number plate light.
I have had 3 brand new 8-ply trailer tyres fitted (spare included).
I have freed off the corner steadies so they now go up and down.

It requires some GRP work to a couple of the hinge areas on the side walls where the hinges have seized and pulled out of the fibreglass. The roof has the normal dip that needs pushing out and the over-run brakes need freeing off.

Plus sides, it's a very untouched original early change-over period Portafold that with a few weekends work will make someone a lovely caravan. And I am supplying it with a bucket load of new parts to help with the rebuild/repairs.

It's listed on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144242893429

The auction has a starting price at the cost price of the spare parts, so technically the Portafold has a starting price of free.


I am supplying with it:

2x rear lights (already fitted)
2x leather straps (already fitted)
1x long leather strap (already fitted)
1x shackle cable (already fitted)
10x brass wall hinges (enough to re-hinge both side walls)
80 x wall hinge rivets
2x locking door handles (complete with 4 matching keys)
6x window catches
3x tyres (already fitted)
1x door window rubber
1x door window glass
4x hinge pins

Thanks for posting. Definately a possible for me.....I shall monitor Ebay.......Steve

Technically it's free at the moment. You'd need the parts I'm supplying anyway, so it's a bargain.
