fibreglass van .....NZ build ?

[Deleted]

Whilst at the meeting of vintage vanners at the Bendigo swap on Sat arvo, I met Bill, who has purchased this unusual fibreglass van ......my guess is that its from NZ?



















Any assistance with identifying this van would be appreciated.

I think you should refer to the Mickey Mouse Club. ;D ;D ;D
That is a weird looking Caravan.

Hi Mark
Definetly not an Olympic , but I will study the files we have and who knows we may locate a brand name.

Hi Mark.
This isnt a New Zealand van.
They were actually called a Caribbean Caravan made by International Plastics. There is an article on the van at the ourtouringpast.com website.
Click here for the link. Caribbean Caravan

Cheers.

I wonder who made the "cap"!
A lot of work to make the poor van look like a "Cartoon Character"

Cheers,

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the info. Its very improbable that many of these more"one off" breeds of vans survived, let alone to be turned into a "cartoon character"


It would still be unusual with the "beak" removed, but still a great part of our history, if only to show how other countries vans were tried on for the australian market.
