Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[ben_minor_1963]

Hi. I am wanting a vintage caravan as light as possible but with most space (if you understand) I am wanting a pre 60's one as I like them the best. The towcar will be a Morris Oxford mk 5.

Thanks for the help and advice
Ben

ben
not being complete means you can do your own thing

there are people on the forum who will have pictures of what it should look like but then there is no weight on you to restore it to original. as its not original anyway
what i meant by using a newer carlight safari royale or cheltenham is that owners clubs have a better availability of spares and information
all the above vans look period as long as you stick to the glass windowed models and they also have vans that weigh under a ton

Well i know they cost a couple of thousand to buy restored. One issue with me is being 6ft 2

hi ben
your height should not be a problem as vans were made to common widths
but bed widths differ greatly the posher the mark the bigger the bed
also small vans with big beds mean less floor space
