That is interesting Geoff, Obviously purpose built for the job but would not have been hard to convert to a “touring caravan” ... or was it a modified “touring caravan” ?. I notice the “lantern roof” is similar to the one on Ol' 36... no glass panels just ventilation holes. Also notice it has the two little roller wheels at the rear similar to those fitted to “Don” caravans at that time, did "Don" build it for them  ( sorry (I think not) about the reference to “Don”... wasn't meant to upset anybody ) Cobber. |
