Hi Winterwood,
Sorry, I missed that... Did you say something about the Roadmaster having just been taken out of its packaging for the first time? ;D ;D ;D
Seriously though, beautiful condition. Wouldn't everybody be happy if they could inherit something like that?
I was interested in the ceiling structure with the exposed ribs. Looks like caneite on the top of the ribs. Is that what it looked like to you?

Hi Don,
I agree, it could have come off the production line yesterday. I was also particularly impressed with the roof because of its condition, I asked the owner( unfortunately I've since forgotten his name) and he indicated it was caneite. The interesting think about the whole van, was that it was original ( apart from the fridge which had been replaced about 2 years prior. Even the paint was the original.
If you like, I am only too happy to post some more photos on the web site.

Hi Harriet,
I'm having a bit of a problem with photobucket. We leave for South Africa on Thur arvo, so will try and download the other photos before we go.

I know this is an old thread but I can update. From post No 1 the owners names were Betsy and Colin. Betsy has sadly passed away and Colin (now in his 90s) is in a nursing home. The van is in the same beautiful condition as shown in the previous photos. Jen and I are now the new owners of this van and we are currently bringing her home from SA having found her on Gumtree. A search of the forum found this thread and Colin's children (now in their 60s) were extremely interested in the photos, especially of their parents. Colin purchased this van when it was one year old from his mate who wanted a larger van. He has had it ever since kept in a garage when not in use. His daughter told us he shed a tear when told that it was sold. We will treasure it and keep it in original condition. See you at future VV events. Rob and Jen (Cherry)
