Top-of-the-range model when
new; towed over 50 miles to the sale
Few things evoke memories of
carefree family holidays quite like a classic British caravan and this charming
Cheltenham is a wonderful example from the golden age of
caravanning.
Dating from 1962 and understood to be a top-of-the-range
model when new, this attractive Cheltenham boasts a beautifully preserved full
wood interior which perfectly captures the character and craftsmanship of the
period. Warm, inviting and full of mid-century charm, it offers a nostalgic
glimpse into an era when caravan holidays were becoming increasingly popular
with British families.
Presented in good condition throughout, the
interior appears to have been well cared for and retains the traditional
ambience that makes these classic caravans so appealing today. Whether used for
static display, historic camping events or simply as a conversation piece, it
offers plenty of character and period charm.
The caravan was towed over
50 miles to the sale behind the 1960 Rover 100 Estate "Woodie" that is also
being offered in this auction, the pair making a wonderfully evocative
combination that would not look out of place at any classic vehicle gathering.
Indeed, for anyone seeking the ultimate 1960s touring outfit, the opportunity to
acquire both vehicles is unlikely to be repeated anytime
soon.
Increasingly difficult to find in such appealing condition, this
delightful Cheltenham would pair beautifully with any period tow car and offers
a wonderful opportunity to relive a bygone era of motoring and holidays. A
charming survivor that is sure to attract plenty of attention wherever it
goes.
