G'day O V M Wink

That is fairly impressive Paul...... I very much doubt that I could find 23 preware caravans in the whole of Australia, including those that reside in museums.

I don't know how you are able to part with them after putting the amount of work into them that you do..... must give you a lot of satisfaction.
