Hi there, this is Martin from Highworth, Wilts. I was lucky enough to purchase a Romini caravan on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. It is lovely and due to a 'names out of the hat' competition within the family is now known as 'Romie'.
It was purchased in 1986 from Island Plastics by a gentleman who towed it home to Bournemouth behind his 850 Mini. Its serial number is 786093 which means it was manufactured in July 1986 and is the 93rd one made by the company.
Already attracting attention and various comments "Are you buying it in installments?" and "Are you going to put it in the awning?"
So Romie will be out and about this season. I was a caravanner back in the 80s & 90s but had returned to a tent when the family upped and grew away, we now have grandchildren who embrace the open spaces so this is a compromise solution, I had looked at a Romahome but could not afford the multi passenger variant. Now I keep the car and its passenger seats but with the van and a good awning http://www.campershop.co.uk/motorhom...lite_xl_family (at £209 an absolute bargain) we can take the gang away.
