Camper Cars   
Out driving today I caught sight of a camper car, It sort of looked
like a Sierra front end with a 2 person camper on it, the cabin
overhung the drivers area.

I have seen a small Citroen that was smaller but would like to find
out what other makes types there are.

Anyone here know of such things that could point me in the right
direction ?

Thanks

What you saw might have been a Starcraft.

Fibreglass conversion built over a Ford car or pickup underpinnings 
(Cortina, then Sierra was a regular choice).

I think they were generally sold as a self-build kit, and there was an 
owners club around at one time.

The conversion used to overhang the windscreen at the front.

Judicious use of Google pulls up a few pictures an example being 
http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/photos-weston/ford_starcraft_48.htm though 
this is pre-Sierra, the bodywork is typical.

What you saw might have been a Starcraft.

Fibreglass conversion built over a Ford car or pickup underpinnings 
(Cortina, then Sierra was a regular choice).

I think they were generally sold as a self-build kit, and there was an 
owners club around at one time.

The conversion used to overhang the windscreen at the front.

What you saw might have been a Starcraft.

Fibreglass conversion built over a Ford car or pickup underpinnings 
(Cortina, then Sierra was a regular choice).

I think they were generally sold as a self-build kit, and there was an 
owners club around at one time.

The conversion used to overhang the windscreen at the front.

Judicious use of Google pulls up a few pictures an example being 
http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/photos-weston/ford_starcraft_48.htm though 
this is pre-Sierra, the bodywork is typical.

What you saw might have been a Starcraft.

Fibreglass conversion built over a Ford car or pickup underpinnings 
(Cortina, then Sierra was a regular choice).

I think they were generally sold as a self-build kit, and there was an 
owners club around at one time.

The conversion used to overhang the windscreen at the front.

this is pre-Sierra, the bodywork is typical.
