A couple of weeks ago I met a chap who used to own a Caravan Dealership just outside of Preston called Madisons, he told me they had sold a couple of Caraboats in 1973 when they were new, and when the Dealership opened they got Charlie Chester to open it and he still had some pictures from that time mainly publicity shots.
he kindly let me have them and I was interested to see one of the Caraboat using the original jet drive..
