Towing home the Eriba Puck

Today is the right day for taking the little Eriba home. It is around 12 kms from my house in Pistoia.


I had to create a hand-made rear license plate matching the one of my car



Close up on Eriba Puck logo... nice!



This is the original trailer license plate from 1973, when it was imported in Italy



A look inside...


M-plate from Hymer


Front bent window... perfect match for an old VW!



Front badge...



Fabio, the seller, is enjoying making the transaction with my credit card in the open air. You should see MY face...



Fabio owns himself a modern VW Transporter (T5?) He leaves in a hurry for another appointment.



Then I had to wait for his collaborator that went to buy an adapter to make the old-style few-pins plug of the Eriba match with the new many-pins plug of my Seat.



Fitted!



Now the lights work.. ehm 'almost' all the lights



So I immediately take the way of my trusty electrician, Mr. Breschi, a pair of kms away.



The right rear light and the license plate light don't work.




The problem is on the worn plug, to be changed with a better one...



In the meantime I take a look at the original papers...

Here is the new plug. Tough!

Here it is, finally at home.
