I thought this was a late fifties or early sixties Bluebird. Anyone know different. Van Man.?

In a nearby village I spotted this caravan in a barn.The property is empty and for sale,so I would have thought the owner wants the caravan removed.

The previous use was with a circus. Lots of circus items in the barn and inside the caravan.

We thought the person who travelled in the caravan was a clown.

Looking at the way everything has grown up around the caravan it has been there a good while.

I have tracked down the owner of the property (inherited we think) and need to just fix a price and a way of getting it removed to our location a few miles away.

Then turn it into a period holiday let for classic caravan enthusiasts who would like to visit the Dordogne in south west France.

Looking inside it has twin beds in the front,a partition,and a double bed in the wall,in the middle. The kitchen is at the rear.
So I would say 16-18ft.

It was a bit difficult to photograph.

It was still in the barn two weeks ago when I was over there.

It is just the logistics of getting it out.

I have spoken to the person who has inherited the property, they are happy for me to have it as long as I do no damage getting it out.
