Photos of a New Horizon 'Springbok' caravan posted by Ditzy on 1 December 2006:









The van was located at Swan Bay, north of Newcastle. Not sure if it's still there (or survived the elements ).

Note the metal framed windows (chrome plated & brass framed according to the article in the first post on this thread), which together with the metal frame would have been pretty unusual in the late 40's.

That Van unfortuantly was scrapped soon after these shots
had been taken. It was a custom build to suit a 6.6 man was in dry storage for a very long time, it detioriated very fast when exposed to the elements, RIP

Hi Burnsy,

Thanks for letting us know. I suspected as much.

A great pity because it is the only Springbok that we have seen on the forum, but unfortunately not every van can be saved and some are beyond saving.
