    Hello, i was wondering if you an give me some advice. I have been wanting to buy a Dormobile CA for ages, now i have the funds to buy one, however im getting cold feet…

    Ive only ever owned one car before (last yr, before someone crashed into the back of me and wrote it off), ive no idea about cars, especially vintage cars. I was hoping with this CA i would learn as i go along, is this a good idea? Or do you recommend i have some specialist knowledge before i buy one. I do have two uncles who have their own vintage kit cars and there is a neighbour around the corner from me which has an array of vintage cars, including a ca which i could ask for help…

    But If anything goes wrong with my CA, whats it like to find parts? Are there any books you would recommend or websites other than this? Is there anything else i should really think abut before buying one?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jen

    The best way to learn is by doing, I did this 10 years ago with my Landrover, and am now confident undertaking just about any job. I’m not familier with the CA but it should be simple to work on. With any vehicle of this age it’s important to look at the metal on the underside, make sure it is sound unless you know a welder.
