From Bob T: Dear Mark Some publications that have articals on vintage caravans. Aust. caravan World 9/'75 page 95 Aust.Caravan World 8/'77 Page 109 Aust. Caravan World 12/'82 page 29 Caravan World 8/'90 page 60 Caravan World 9/'91 page26 Caravan World 6/'92 page 60 Caravan World 5/'04 page 56 Aust. Motor Manual 8/'67 Aust. Caravan and Touring Manual for 1957 by Keith Winser The caravan museum we mentioned is located at Warrak Vic. (about 25klms east of Ararat 3377) If you would like to give us your postal address we could sent material from time to time that may be of interest to you. Likewise if you come across any Olympic items you could send it to PO Box 37 BOGANGAR 2488 NSW. We also have some info on the Propert, Expanda van (all series), Sunliner, Microvan and Gypsy. We could of had a lot more but we did not know of any one at the time who could use it.One item we would be keen to have copies/photocopies of are Glass's Caravan Value Guide any editions from '65 (if they were availiable) to the '90's. Just copies featuring the Olympic range this will allow us to establish when various model came on /off the market. We understand that all copies are sent to State Library Victoria, - when will we get there . Regards Bob T contact "mark@vintagecaravans.com" for Bob's email address.

G’Day Mark & Bob T. I know this is not exactly what you are asking for and Olympics do not get a mention but I hope it is of some interest to members. It does give details of some of the vans available at that time. It was in “Motor Manual” # 211 May 2 1960. It was continued in MM #212 which I unfortunatly don’t have. (would have been smart to make 'em all the same size as page 4 eh? Cobber.
