1967 Eriba Pan

By Steve Barcelona Date 06-04-2015 09:04

Hi to everyone as this is my first post here. I tried to use the welcome board, but it was locked. I have just bought a 1967 Eriba Pan from the South of France and towed it home to Barcelona where I live. I am a classic car restorer by trade, so my Eriba will certainly be stripped back to nothing like my cars for a full restoration. It is very unlikely to be used in 2015 like everyone out there, but hopefully I will have a nice touring caravan for 2016. I will post some photos from time to time of the restoration. (If I can work out how to attach photos on this site?)
Regards to all.

Welcome to the forum Steve...it's a great place....lots of really helpful information here. Folk are very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and really helpful...and usually very quick to respond if you do raise a query. Have fun restoring your lovely little caravan....have you given it a name yet...most folk on here name their Eribas :grin:

Thank you for that and my better half is Catalan too. The answer is yes about the caravans name, she's called "Poppy"

Looks like you have a sturdy van to work on............are you going to try to resort it to something like the original. ?

Lovely little van (but will you be keeping the attractive and unique door locking mechanism, colour co-ordinated to the orange canvas skirt I see :wink:
