Quite a smart looking little project van Wink

Any one know an accurate date of manufacture?

Is it not a Sprite Cadet? The rear end looks a tad bluff to me, but I seem to remember they always were peculiar-looking things.

Pretty sure your right Alec. Quite rare these days.

Ok Sprite Cadet then, Not L & A FISHER 1960'S OR 1970'S Rolling Eyes

This must be a slightly later version http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sprite-Cadet-2-Berth-Caravan-Small-Rare-Project-/200504104749?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Campers_Caravans_Motorhomes&hash=item2eaef9d72d

I'm still not happy about that bluff rear end. Modified at one time to take a motor bike? Damage repair? Maybe the first ones did look like that, but it suggests bodge to me.
