I went with a mate the other day to Evesham to get some Land Rover parts.
The house we arrived at has a rather large garden and at the bottom of the garden is a caravan half hidden by over-grown greenery.
The caravan is looking like it is beyond repair and is full of logs for their log burner in the house.

Any Ideas what the caravan is and what year is it... roughly.

It it a Bluebird? My aunt and uncle had something similar from around 1961/62 for a few years, kept at Whitesands near St David's, Wales. I think theirs was a Bluebird, although come to think of it I don't think the Bluebird front was as flat and 'square' as that.
