I was trying to work out how I could get my hands on this one. But since it would be my first, and I live 40 hrs drive time away, it is not to be. I spoke to the owner and while he can assure it is an original Benroy, it is need of some major restoration. The flooring and lower side paneling has swelled and as a result the body has dropped 1". He was even suggesting that the aluminum skin should be replaced. Too bad. It's a classic.

I almost had this one but I jumped the gun on the final bid. It does need a complete frame off restoration but the original title alone was worth a couple hundred bucks. I would have driven the 1800 miles from my location to get it but........it was not in the STARS. Trailers without supporting wood walls seem to last two or three times longer.
