Hi all
Being a new owner of a porta fold I was wondering if I decide the restoration is way beyond me, does anyone know if there is someone in Scotland who restores them. I am definitely going to give it a bash myself but you never know what you will uncover so need a plan B .
The 15th International Portafold & Ansfold Gathering) (i.e. 2024)
Our annual gathering will be returning to the Newbury Retrofestival.
So put the dates 9th, 10th & 11th of August 2024 in your diary now and get those dates booked off work early.
Show Address: Newbury Showground, Priors Court, Hermitage, Thatcham, West Berkshire, RG18 9QZ
Don't book direct with the show organisers it will cost you more money, just contact me (07771544419) to get your pitch saved.

Hi Stuart
Brother bought in Whitehaven a few years ago and brought it to Glasgow it has sat in the back garden ever since he put her up a couple of weeks ago and I love it . Not sure about age etc but Matthew said if I send the chassis number he might be able to tell me more so that's my first job.

Re: Restoration scotland
Don't be nervous of getting stuck in to a restoration. It's not rocket science! Have a root through some of the restoration info on the forum and see what you think!
How hard can it be?

Re: Restoration scotland
Hey guys,
We've just bought ours and are in Glenrothes, Fife.
Curious to see how if a) you still have it and b) how the restoration went?
We went out yesterday to look at curtains, cushions and soft furnishings. Then we took a deeper look at the Ansfold and we have some basic maintenance to get done before we'd be keen to furnish it. Nothing major, just taking back the paint and repainting, or we insulate and perhaps paint over that.
Well, would be interested to hear how you guys got on.
