Bailey Unicorn Madrid

Hullo
Just ordered one of these today from my local dealer - not finding anything about it online.
I believe Bailey will have one at the NEC show. Does anyone else have any information about it??

Would be surprised if you did. According to Baileys brochure and their Unicorn website it doesn't exist!
The Unicorn range consists of three caravans - Seville, Valencia,& Barcelona.
Unless you've got a dealer's special edition.

It's going to be released at the NEC show - it is a Unicorn with a Pegasus 514 layout.

If "Reads" is still about on the forum perhaps he might be able to give you some info on it.
I've kept an eye on most of the caravan forums on the subject of the Unicorn and you are the first I've heard make mention of it.
Good luck

I cant believe you ordered a van without even seeing it or sitting in it.
Has anyone else ever done this?
Ive gone to the show with the intention on buying xyz as is looks good on paper but was very disapointed and ended up buying something else

I was thinking the same thing myself when I read Nigel Donnelly's blog giving details of good sales figures for Coachman at The Lawns show.

Apparently two buyers at the show made purchases 'off plan'
Incredible!

We have paid a £500 deposit and placed the order. However, when our dealer has one on the forecourt (in a few weeks he reckons) we are going to go and see it, and if we don't like it he'll give us our money back. Although we'll probably end up putting it towards one of 2 other vans we fancy, so nothing lost as far as we can see.

Hope you got that in writing, that the dealer will refund your deposit, friend of mine lost his when he canceled his order.

Dear All.

The Madrid is indeed a side-dinette four-berth version of the Unicorn. None have been built yet, but as of last week, Bailey had orders in for half-a-dozen!

Dealers requested this as many have noted a softening of demand for fixed bed models, with poor kitchen and lounge facilities being cited.

There will be one other new layout at the NEC too, in addition to the Madrid. I don't know what it will be, but given the current trend, it would not suprise me to see a twin-single fixed bed end washroom model, following a good start for Lunar's Clubman version. That last bit is a complete guess however!

Noticed this morning that Lady Bailey Caravans are showing 2 new unicorn layouts; the Madrid and Almeria which can be found on their website (http://www.ladybaile...ew.php?brand=34) or here on the microsite (http://www.bailey-un....com/prices.htm). I believe they are being launched at the NEC in October.

Northern Farm Caravan sales in Somerset have the Madrid, Velencia and the Barcelona on sale on their forecourt

Nicely sneaked in.
What do you do at Lady Bailey then?

I take it that with 5 models now released and the popular demand for them they wont be limited edition anymore?
