At a guess this little caravan could be a Eccles Coronet MK III about 1956.

It is an Eccles same front as mine but without seeing the side view can only guess at the model. Now would I be able to squeeze another one in. Wife says if I get another Eccles shes moving out with her Cheltenham lol

Well, I've emailed to see if it's still available, be nice to have a Eccles back on the drive and can always build my self build round the back of the house then bring it round to fit the chassis
