I'm going to look properly tonight, but MrsGk's mum has an old Winnebago LeSharo kicking about. Its sat on a farm since 2002 and I'm not sure how salvagable it will be, but it was her dads so she'd rather see someone find a use for it, even for spares, rather than it just getting crushed... Any thoughts chaps?

Its on an A-plate, so its an early one, and I believe its based on a Renault Trafic...

1983?

Launched in 1983, so one of the first with a whole 66 bhp!
Very small for an american motorhome, some 15k produced, parts hard to find in the US, should be easier in Europe as its Renault based, probably of interest to the right person, eBay is best bet IMHO to get the best price, plenty of demand for motorhomes and these are quirky

I like the comment on Wikipedia that at 6m long it's only as long as a "full sized car" making it easy to park..

I agree that EBay would probably be the best way. I'm sure there are motorhome specialists around, but whether they would deal in anything this old, I'm not sure. They'd be looking to turn a profit on it, so would be offering peanuts, IMHO. Better to find an enthusiast who's prepared to do a bit of work on it.

I can see STMO heading now for Virginia Cardinal's  Pumpkin Dump Cake

Thanks for the input so far chaps - I shall upload photos from MrsGks phone tomorrow, and start crafting an advert. Think the admins will notice if I sneak it into the For Sale section here?

A neighbour/mate of mine has a massive (proper) Winnebago parked on his driveway. It gets MoT'd every year then doesn't move anywhere after it gets parked up....

[BazaJT]

From its name I think I'd steer clear of the Pumpkin Dump Cake!!!!

Renault Trafic's actually aren't too bad tbh.....ive had a couple of them...rarely went wrong....but you had to choose carefully about the trim colour and less electric gadgets was best
