Me and the Mrs decided to sell our boring modern caravan and buy this instead .

I had fancied a classic caravan for some time to tow behind our landrovers ....this one had cropped up but funds etc conspired against us,
Oddly though a good friend bought it ...then found it wouldn't fit on his drive.

However our modern van would Very Happy

Thanks mate ....

I'd been considering one for a while (happy memories of a friends on holidays in North Yorkshire)
And this one cropped up but funds wouldnt allow it's purchase ....however a twist of fate and it's ours Cool

.
Some bit's and pieces to do to smarten it up a bit BUT it came with a awning so hopefully over the next couple or so weeks we can get it sorted and give it a test run Very Happy

Not classic ones, I have been asked to find a 60s or 70s caravan. It's a bikini shoot, good luck with that in early March Laughing

its a 2 day shoot in Bridgeport on 1 and 2 march. Looking for a 60s or 70s caravan (over 2 berth) and probably a saab or volvo (could be later like a 240)

Hi
Saw this one last Friday, at a Conference football club in the Midlands.
Is it the same model?

looks like either a Nyala or a Puku 2 to me Penman .....the layout inside is different between the two models but size wise they are pretty close to each other and larger than the Waterbuck
