:oHi
John has finally mastered the Bucket. Here are some Pics of our van. It was built by Lyn's Uncle, Bill Neasby in Sydney about 1956. He purchased as a Kit from Caravan Accessories and built it. The van has always been registered and used. Lyn's Uncle went around Australia at least twice and Lyn's family used it in the early sixties for their holidays. Bill towed the van with a Vauxhall, HQ Holden and probably several other vehicles in between. He only stopped towing in the Nineties and we purchased to tow behind our EK Holden. We now tow behind our 57 Chev. We use it for family holidays, car shows and festivals. It is all fun ;D

, small world is'nt it ! Talking to a mate today about cars and caravans and mentioned to him some friends of mine had found and restored a '57 Chev a few years back . I relayed the story as i remembered it from your recent magazine spread and to my amazement he new all about your car . It turns out he grew up in the house next door (right next door !) in down town Narwee and had eyed it off as a child . His older brother had tried for year to get the car but the old boy wouldn't sell . He said he remembers the single garage it sat in was starting to fall apart and that the house was eventually demolished . He said the families name was Mathews and the car was rarely driven and can remember back in the 70's how low the milage was for a 20 plus year old car . Anyway my mates name is Allan Cooper and if you want you can call him on 9456 3880 for a chat . REGARDS MAURIE . p.s small world is'nt it !
