Hi need some help to ID this caravan so i can start restoring her , i have done a net search but no joy , hears some pics

[emmerson]

Can't help with ID, but I don't think it started life with four wheels!

A bit on the late side for me but it looks like a early 60s Vickers,travelers caravan thats been converted for showman's use ?, hence the four wheel Ackerman steering set up , this is better for towing with a lorry than the stock single axle
there is a couple of other forums worth a try "all the fun of the fair " and gypsytrailercaravans.webeden.co.uk/

Definitely a Vickers, there was one on ebay a week ago the same on ordinary wheels, made £1200
