New member, T25 owner looking for Gatcombe!

Hello Auto-Sleepers!

We've had our much-loved T25 for 17 years and it's time to move on. We need something far more comfortable in our advancing years! We want to stick with VW and we want something small we can park in the street in Bristol. A Gatcombe seems ideal.

Welcome from North Wales handshake

I've noticed a couple of Gatcombes on Ebay but neither near you - one in High Peak and one in Anglesey.

Does the later Clubman have the skylight and vertically-opening windows?

many thanks

Yes, full opening skylight with concertina blind and the windows open outwards.
You can identify the model by the rounded corners of the windows. I've read that the earlier right angled window apertures were prone to cracking at the corners but I personally haven't seen it.
