If you see an old caravan on your travels, please try and take a snap of it and put it on here Very Happy

As mentioned elsewhere, me and erindoors visited the Lakeland Motor Museum here in the UK yesterday, and amongst the exhibits was this large old 'van, I think a Burlingham from memory, so thought I'd post them here




With all the shows coming up I hope to get some more pics taken showing old vans, either preserved or derelict, hehe

Great photos Rick,
Just the kind of stuff I like to see. The top two vans at Weston Park, are they propriety brands or home made jobs...do you know their age ?

You had a “Historic Caravan club” rally just this past weekend over there didn’t you, has anybody got photos from that ?

Cobber.

Hi

Fortunately I took a photo of the brochure that they had on a stand in front of the first caravan:



The 2nd one is a Wildgoose I think - the same company that did the bolt-on caravan/camper bodies for the Mini - sure someone will know more than me about them Laughing

This Wildgoose caravan is the only surivor of four prototypes.
The Wildgoose Mini-based camper was not a mere bolt-on, a new wider rear floorpan was grafted into the Minivan bodyshell and a new modified rear subframe was designed to accomodate the widened rear end. A new coachbuilt body was built around this to make the reborn Wildgoose camper. There were two types of Wildgoose, one with a solid roof similar to the caravan and a second type with a folding half-canvas roof.
As an ex. mini owner I would love to find one of these to restore.

The 2nd camper is a Barkas 1000, don't recall seeing one of those campers before!? East German if memory serves..

Driving along the M62 yesterday I spotted a smart combination, pale cream/yellow Mk2 Triumph 2000 estate, with a 60s van on the back (possibly a Carlight but I only caught a glimpse of it going the other way!).

Seen at Gaydon museum the other weekend, the 1935 Royal Winchester:




The interior shot was taken through the back window, so didn't come out brilliantly!
