Rare Classic Fir Sale - Home made Pre 60’s

[lukemcd]

Hi guys. I don’t know where or when this was made and it has no badges so I think it’s home made.

It’s a classic fir sure and hard to let go.

All details on the add.
Contact via gumtree as I’m not on this site very often.

Thanks

Hi all,
Haven’t we seen this van before?
I seem to recall someone thought it was a Roma a few years ago?
Cheers

Bingo Hughdeany!

Great pickup! Here it is...here, originally posted on the forum in 2004.

There was a suggestion that it was a late 40's or early 50's Roma, but now that we have more info about what Romas from that era looked like, I think we can discount that idea. That doesn't mean it's not an even earlier Roma - Roma claim to have been around since 1928, but we haven't seen any of their vans prior to 1948, so don't know what they looked like. The shape of Lukemcd's van does suggest a 40's caravan, but I'm not sure what the previous owner Bill was basing his Roma suggestion on.
