Have you seen me - 1950's classic?

[luxe]

Hello everyone

I have been a member of the site for several years now but having a young family & new business has kept me away from even looking at caravans.

I have wondered where this van has ended up after seeing it about 12 years ago, for sale in Sunshine, VIC.

I looked at the van and took photos but unfortunately did not buy it. I've often wondered what happened to her and would love to get in touch with the new owners.

My understanding is that it was sold to someone in QLD.

If anyone knows the owners or you are them, please get in touch.

I am looking forward to finally finding a vintage van of our own and coming to some of your meet ups with the family.

Thanks for listening

I owned this van for a very short time back in 2005. Don't Ricardo I'm sure knows the new owner. It is owned by a relative of member John and has been to VV events.

G'day Shane,

last I heard this van was owned by "John's " dad & mother (Ian & Mum, that used to be an "in joke", I think   )

John does come on the forum occasionally, you could try sending him a PM @ vintagecaravans.proboards.com/conversation/new/12

Thank you guys, much appreciated. I really love the community around collectable things. I've been a collector my whole life and hoping we can get across to Victor Harbour next year and meet some of you. Best regards Shane

Hi Shane,
That van has a 4 page spread in the book “ Vintage and retro caravans downunder” by Don and Marilyn Jensen.
Worth a look at if you can get hold of it.Ebay or bookshop or library?
Cheers

Hi John,

How are you ? Long time no see . Your Mum and Dad's van has always been my favorite , do they still have it?
Hope you are all well

G'day Geoff and Jude!!

I'm well thanks. It's been a long time between drinks! Life keeps getting in the way! Mum and Dad still have the van, however they toured to Qld and got caught in a tropical storm and the van has suffered water damage. It's fixable, and it's on the never ending list!
Hope that you"re both well and I hope to catch up with you at some stage soon.

Regards,
John
