Good stuff Don, great to see another Clipper actually being brought back to life.
Cant wait to see the finished product and be able to park 2 Clippers together at a future camp.
All the best with it.
Leigh.

It appears that this is the van that Malleeboy had for sale a little while ago.
Nice to know it has been saved.

Great work, it's looking fabulous! That spare tyre up front really trims everything off nicely

Howdy Folks Here are a couple of photo's of Dons Clipper in Pinnaroo this weekend. It wasn't very far from one of its last homes (Murrayville Vic) just over the border from Pinnaroo. Here is what it was like in 2011:
And here it is today:
And it has this little badge of some sort above the sink....looks a bit like a sailing ship.....could it be a clipper?
Cheers Steve

Attachment DeletedAfter fitting electric brakes I decided to fit a parking brake as the lever was already attatched to the back \plates.Made something I hope looks as it would have been.

Attachment DeletedThe sides of the annex that came with the van were cut off & sewn with an edge to make an awning. Many thanks to Mrs Singer (Marianne).The left over material gave us matching chairs and enough left for Singer's awning

My clipper has 16" plymouth wheels & I was searching the net for a hubcap. I found 3 in the US for a particular model plymouth with a clipper emblem.photo attatched

Hi Don and Shesgotthelook, The hubcaps are a really nice touch. Well done Don - very nice thinking indeed. I presume the hubcaps match the little badge above the sink? Am I right? Don Ricardo

Hi . At last I have a tow car classy enough for the Clipper. A 1950's merc, 86000 genuine miles with all books and service history. Have done the brakes,radiator new tyres & fitted an electric brake controller . Will be trying it out at the south Australian vintage van get together at Meningie in 2 weeks time & again to the nationals next year.
