Hello folks, I have a 1981 Viscount pop-top that I've inherited from my parents. It's an oldy but a goody, some people say if there was ever a world ending event, they'd come to my caravan because it's survived 2 trips around Australia, my son living in it for 9 months, my sister living in it for 3 years, su...
