Hello, i'm Andylad located in Letterkenny, Co Donegal, Ireland. Please take a look though the photo's. The hitch/jocky wheel, a-frame to the chassis and possibly the axle will need replacing. The caravan is in great shape for whatever year it is and i should get it road legal in the coming month or so.... it's my first go at a caravan restoration but i have abit of experience on Vw campers. I have been scouring the net for a photo etc of this type but to no avail, i will reply to any questions, please help!

Many Thanks Andy.

Hi Andy, by gum that looks like a serious salvage operation!

I've not got any info to hand on Beverley caravans, but did find a reference in this Google-scanned book on caravanning:

Hi saw your pictures , im not an expert but it looks like my viking fibreline ! if you look on photobucket and search viking fibreline you should see a picture of it on the back of a triumph stag , It should also be on this site if you can search it .
My caravan was made in 75 ish at Heads neuk , carlisle .

I recognised the caravan but couldn't put a name to it so thanks European Voyager.

It is a Viking Fibreline. These pics show a 1964 version.

I can't find a connection to Berkeley caravans in any of my reference books.

Andy, I have another 30 photos of Vibrelines - if you send me a pm with your email address, I'll send them to you. (Too many to attach to a pm on the forum)
