1950s Gypsy Caravan

[colinsandyreo]

Hi There

We are first time renovators, we have a Gypsy 10 from 1950s. We are just wondering if anyone would happen to have any original parts they are wanting to sell as we have got a few parts (vintage original) and we are looking to get more of the same. Unfortunately it was staying on a friends' property and someone nicked the GYPSY badge, we are hoping to find an original one somewhere, we know this is an absolute long shot. 


Thank You

Hi Colinsandyreo,

Welcome to the Forum and thanks for telling us about your Gypsy 10. I'm glad to see that you worked out how to post on the Forum and how to post photos.

One of our long standing Forum members, Gypsy10, is in the process of selling his Gypsy 10. It might be worth contacting him to see if he has any spare bits and pieces.

If you haven't seen it, his thread can be found by clicking here.

Good luck with your restoration and search for components. Please let us know how you are progressing with your project as you go.

Hi and congrats on finding another Gypsy - they're getting harder to find.

Finding parts is always a problem, but remember this, apart from specific parts like ID badges, parts for most caravans are pretty generic, or you may even have to build/make it yourself. Benchtop Laminex and flooring often is the most difficult to source, but this site does have leads on such things in the Technical section. A broad request such as you've made is also not very helpful. You do need to be more specific on what you are looking for, because someone with a different brand of caravan may have what you need.

Remember always, that with restoring a caravan, it's not only the destination, but the journey of how you get there.
