We are selling our old 1959 Roma Caravan. It is wooden sided with aluminium back, front and top. It has a 3 way gas/12v/240v fridge and mostly original fittings inside including the blue vinyl and star laminex. It has the original and very sought after porthole widows! It was used by us many times and was a 3 owner van when we bought it, It also has a full annex included. It now needs some resto work as a bit of rot has gotten into the wood. For someone with some wood skills it would be a pretty simple job and it could easily be patched, the entire sides do not need replacing, just some sections (mainly at the outer edges). It tows great and is very comfy to sleep in, being a 4 berth. At present the wood is painted to match the 59 Caddy as per below.
We are only selling this because we have bought an original fibreglass Sunliner from the same era that also needs some resto. I have not enough time, space or money to do both (as much as I would like to!) so this one is for very reluctant sale! My mate's father bought the van s/h in 1962 and I bought it from him before he passed away about 11 years ago. It has FE wheels and will tow home, though the rear window is out as the rubber perished (easy fix). EDIT; WE HAVE NOW REDUCED THE PRICE TO $1200. I don't really want to put it on Ebay and would rather it go to a member here or on our Ozrodders Forum who will appreciate it. Call me 0437315982 or (03)54724003 or email dave@kustom.net It is in Castlemaine Vic, was Vic Rego G44253.
With some wood repairs, a quick paint job and presto! You could easily make it match your car like this below!
Or you could paint it a cream or white (or any colour you like!) and stripe it to match your car instead. (the annex is white and blue striped)
