Mine is most definatly a sister to yours.
Exactly the same inside except I see youv'e got sommit under the sink above the cupboard.
I've seen posts on here somewhere and think ours is an 'Arragon' model.
Haven't been able to confirm this though.

Ah that's good news. The "feature" under the sink is the control panel for the water pump. When we bought the van she had a roof just like yours.
They are both G reg and ours was originally blue so they may even have followed each other through the spray bay. Sweet.
Trying to find out more about the Arragon side will keep me busy on quiet winters evenings.
Thank you Bilbo Blue

I've just bought a 1989 Arragon 2.1 petrol and saw this old thread. It's a pretty solid van with a few areas needing tidied as they've been touched up in the wrong shade. The interior is a bit faded - any suggestions where I can get the front seats and bed recovered in grey cloth?

The "camping" logo on the right of the tailgate is a mystery. I'll post a query on the forum but there's one on the link above. Do any of my fellow Bilbo interiors have a camping logo?!
Mine says "Camping" on the back too!

There's a tin-top Bilbo that lives around Woking, Surrey. I make a point of parking up next to it if I can when it's at the Swimming Pool. A more "mature" couple own it. It's dark blue (i think) with a side stripe too.
