The object of my desire was a tatty Dormobile in burgundy and cream paintwork, driven by an old couple who had probably owned it from new. Not the best vehicle for long distance motorway driving - likely to be chugging along at a grumpy 50 mph (if you're lucky) - but it won my heart.Lady Barbara Skeltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230997896921980409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-16312290711760451012008-02-21T12:17:00.000+00:002008-02-21T12:17:00.000+00:00Found it!!

Hope it was a Kodak Retinette. <BR/>I bought one in Rochester a few years back, and after I'd excitedly got it home I found out that wretched Kodak no longer did the film for it.

There were four Smith children, two Savages and loads of other kids too. In the summer we'd all go off to the zoo, or the park, or the pool, with all the doors and windows back and the wind rushing through the van. I was convinced that a door would un-latch itself and chop something off. Fortunately, we all grew up with a full compliment of fingers, toes and heads so my fears proved to be unfounded.Fred Fibonaccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07174020204048825147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-84112770092441301262008-02-20T17:45:00.000+00:002008-02-20T17:45:00.000+00:00Oh how I love this post!

Even allowing for the pound being now worth a tenth of what it was then, it is still a BAD buy!!!!Afferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053428773264067176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-72308717819325908142008-02-20T17:06:00.000+00:002008-02-20T17:06:00.000+00:00The sound of one of those sliding doors being slid...The sound of one of those sliding doors being slid is one of the lost noises of England. It ranks, in my opinion, with the sound of cash registers, bells on shop doors, the clack and ting of manual typewriters, and other mechanical sounds now lost in a world of digital bleeps and synthesized muzak.

It does not pain me in the least to admonish the vehicle itself (and of course its variants rightup to the CF). These had to have been quite the most ill-conceived, poorly engineered, shockingly styled, hazardously un-driveable and ugly vehicles ever to hit the tarmac.
