Hi, I have put this here rather than tents for sale because it's more of a historical item.
 
In a recent clear out of my garage I found this tent that I had forgotten about. We used it as a family when I was a child in the 70s as an overnight tent, then my husband and I took it motorcycle touring for a number of years. It is big enough to house us and all our biking gear very comfortably. It earned the nickname "Crap Tent" when on holiday with some biker friends who all had modern, easy pitch flexible pole tents. When it came to quick pitch tents with our kids we too invested in modern kit and Crap Tent found itself a place hidden in the corner of the garage.
I'm not sure what state it is in and am reluctant to unwrap it in the rain because I won't be able to get it dry again. I know the flysheet rubbers are perished and we have re-waterproofed it at least once.
If anyone would like to give this 50 year old tent a home, let me know.
