what caravan is that?

[rodger]

Hello
 firstly i hope this is in the right area of the forum, apologies if not
and this may be an unusual post but...
i was given a caravan the other day and was trying to find out what it is... manufacturer/model ect...
then i came across this forum and saw it in the forum picture... it looks pretty much the same as the fourth one from the right, the one the far side of the one with the red stripe on it... its the one with the 4 teal lines on it, 2 above, 2 below the window... can someone tell me what it is please?
thanks

Hello & welcome Rodger. The van you are referring to is a Viscount. If you are able to attach some photos that would confirm it for us. Also any numbers & letters that are welded on the drawbar.
Cheers,
SGTL

thanks for your reply...

i think the draw bar has E8059 welded on it... im pretty sure on the E805 part but the 9 might be a 0

thanks again

Hi Rodger,

The serial number E8059 (or E8050) tells us that your van is a Viscount Ambassador and built at the very end of 1968 or the very beginning of 1969. That date matches the cladding profile on the sides and the coloured flash.

Serial number E7976 is an Ambassador dated 7 December 1968, and E8184 is dated 21 January 1969. So your van is right in the middle there somewhere.

If you look under the table you may be lucky enough to find an actual date for your van.

thank you very much, thats interesting information, means its about 2-3 months older than i am...

the only things that i have found so far with a date are a little id plate on the front that says 1982 and is something to do with gas and a piece of paper taped to the inside of the cupboard that has a date in 1984 on it and also looks like its something to do with gas fitting or an inspection...

unfortunately theres a lot of water damage and the table is basically destroyed, as is the floor, as im taking it apart i'll look for anything with a date on it...

thanks again to you both, much appreciated...
