Hello,
I have been offered a 1947 safari caravan.I did not realise they built them so early.
I have obviously seen 1960`s models but am not sure what this model will look like.
I have been told it is about 14ft.
And before you ask no.........The elderly couple cannot send me photo`s by email and yes it is a distance from where I live.
Has anybody any details on these early Safari`s.

Kind Regards
Gresham.

I would imagine its a Safari Minor at that age, just a guess this is from the same era.

This one is 14ft,the Minor looks about 9ft.

I was told this one is a three berth.

My mistake, dont know of any others from that age, unless they have the age wrong and its the usual Safari shape

The Safari Four, Sixteen, and Tourhome(?) were early models round about 1950 onwards. Here's a page from a 1956 brochure; the basic shape remained the same from conception until the more modern half-Mollycroft style usually associated with Safari appeared in the early 1960s.
