Hi all,
A couple of days ago Firefighter was contacted by a new forum member, Eatzantz, about a 12 foot van that she has recently bought, brand and origins unknown. Firefighter has asked me to help Eatzantz out with a post. Eatzantz has provided the following photos:
Eatzantz would like to know who the manufacturer is. Can anybody throw any light on it? My first response was that it may have been built in the 70's based on its shape. However, Eatzantz has shown me a South Australian electricity inspection certificate dated December 1968. So that indicates that it's both 'vintage' and probably built in South Australia.
Eatzantz has purchased the van to live in but feels that it should be refurbished and looked after. If there is someone out there who is interested in doing that, she may possibly be open to discussing that further. It should be noted that a leaf in one of the springs is broken, presumably explaining the lean to the near side.
Anyway let's see if anybody can tell Eatzantz the origins of the van.
