This old van belongs to my siters neighbour. No one knows what make it is, how old it is, or any history.
Does anyone know anything to alter this?

Definitely a home made caravan, lots were made in the 1940's and 50's. worth saving though.

| Yes , it's a garden shed ! Seriously though , my memory is shot to pieces since my stroke but this is raising flashes from the past . I may be wrong , and probably am so , but this may have come from a magazine such as "Practical Mechanics" or one like it in the late forties or early fifties . The recommended undercarriage is usually Morris , but there were a few that used Ford . Any body with the ability to make one of these home builds , would of course be capable of utilising what was available . This needs to be rebuilt , or in this case , built anew . It would be of great interest to strange people like myself who have seen all the current restorations around today .This is real caravanning , A hard tent on wheels ! |

| I said my memory was shot to pieces ! Any possibility of seeing the hi . tch , and a couple of shots of the interior ? A view of the undercarriage would be great too , with flash of course , I have been given photo's so dark as to have put an unrestored old master to shame . |

| Thanks for the info supplied so far. I will get further photos next time I visit my sister, but it won't be for a month or 2. |
