Hi Kenny, I thought you must have finished with us! First one is a Franklin Freeway, Second looks like a Litecraft, Third is a Viscount Ambassador. Cheers hughdeany
I always check Google Maps Street view to see if the van is still at the same place today. Only once have I found this to occur. However in checking this one, I note the house has been 'lowered' not raised, usually they raise the houses! Checkit!

Thanks Hughdeany, Don and everyone else for your support and help in 2021! I'm only upto suburbs starting with I, still have J to Z to go
For those who have time on their hands (like me at the moment here are some more interesting carvans!
Hi Kenny,
Happy New Year to you too.
I’m guessing that the first two are Litecrafts and the third is a bondwood of some description, but that’s as close as I can get. Let’s see what Hughdeany thinks.

Looks like its a Millard, but with corner front windows??
Hi Kenny,
The sticker certainly looks like a Millard sticker, but I can’t think of any Millard models that had that style of corner windows. Carapark also used that style sticker, but I’m certain it’s not one of theirs.
I can’t believe the difference in the then and now photos of the house. How would you go about chopping out the lower supports of the house to lower it? I’m sure it can be done, but the mind boggles a bit! An alternative explanation is that the ground level around the house has been raised and the section under the house is now a cellar!
Hi Kenny and Don, Yes,I agree with Don re the 3 vans,although it’s hard to tell if the last one has a front stripe or a cut in ,if the cut in it could be a little WA Modern,but it would be aluminium. The Millard was a Princess,Five foot double hopper under the stoneguard,and small corner wrap arounds,I owned one years ago,if you want a pic I can send it by pm Don Ricardo. Cheers hughdeany
Many thanks, database updated. There are no other Millard Princesses on file until now! (Couldn't find any on Google Images either). Thanks again, more to come!
Hi Kenny, Don’t know if you are looking for a name still,but it’s a Roma/ Capricorn bondwood and aluminium,12.6. They were made in one factory in the sixties for a time and sold as both,but strangely enough only in this shape. Cheers hughdeany

All good Hughdeany, I really appreciate your advice and have updated the database. Many thanks, kenny
Hi Kenny, Yes it’s a Franklin Arrow,about 1972 and22 ft. Always good to see vans with 2 doors,plenty around in the 60s and 70s but now seem to have gone out of favour.😥 Cheers hughdeany
Looking at the minimalistic gardens in the above images makes you realise how modern nurseries have changed the Australian landscape, for the better. Mustang
