G'day sutcac  Have you got anymore photos of it because it is either a Caribbean caravan or an English Vogue, they both came out of the same mould actually, but it will be interesting to see what this one looked like from the rear Cobber. |

Wow ! Looks like the English Vogue aye ?  Did you buy it ? are you going to restore ? Or did you find out if it's present owner is going to restore it ? I don't know what was wrong with these vans because not many people seem to love 'em. Cobber. |

The current owner intends to restore it. (Rather him than me!) Apparently they only have a half A frame which extends only part way under the van. Maybe this was their shortcoming, engineering wise? Apparently made in limited numbers in Scoresby, Victoria  Cheers Sutcac |

Unusual & interesting `van.Did IPA p/l have licence to manufacture these (Vogue copies) or does the label actually refer to polymer products that IPA sold & some one stuck on the `van?

Very interesting..... this thread will have to go in the DHL thread me thinks  We need the answers to your questions Gordon, International Plastics obviously got hold of the mould, did they turn out a couple of copies of the vogue before they decided to 'improve' on it and turn out the 'Caribbean' ? Or did they actually import a couple of Vogues  Cobber. |

(p/b having a hissy so can`t u/l pics)
***** Where the IPA sticker is,the recess is the same shape as a Willerby badge *****
