Another interesting caravan in the Lowestoft area. The trouble with street view is its already 4 years out of date but the van is still there and under the sheet (now long sinse ripped off) is a white Rover P5B which still looks in good condition but like the van hasnt turned a wheel in at least five years. Here's the link

As a driving instructor I tend to cover most of the roads in the Lowestoft/Yarmouth area in the corse of a week so like to have a good snout around, on the classic car page there's a thread for people to say what they have spotted but I see so many classic daily drivers that I've given up noting them. but these vans have been around for years without moving which is always a shame for any old vehicle, buy the way what sort of age is this van.
