I don't usually have much interest in replicas... but when they are
as rare as that would be, and built as well as that one appears to
be, you have to love it
Get a go at the draw bar and tow coupling.. and the old furniture outside ....and the blue sky  
Are there any original models surviving.. and does anybody have interior photos of this one ?

Hi Cobber, this vans as good on the inside as it is the outside, Dave the owner is such a purist that when he uses the van he cooks on a 20s rippingills parafin stove
half an hour to boil a kettle
The reason behind the build, there is no know surviving examples of this model ...... |

G'day O V M,
You said | Quote: | | Dave the owner is such a purist that when he uses the van he cooks on a 20s rippingills parafin stove |
I would expect all HCC members to do the same on a club run
O V M...... could you have a look back at the thread on HCC Membership and answer my questions
there....I want to join up
Cobber.
Later.... I had no idea what a Rippingilles
stove looked like so I did a "Google".
Now that I know... I've seen one in another 'van over there I think.
I'm learning.....slowly |
