REALLY cool old 70's caravan - anyone recognise it?

Thanks Mark!

You've jogged my memory now and "Murrumba Star" IS what it said on the tailgate. I WANT one!

Cheers!
Chris

I was going to suggest your website Mark but you have answered the question already.

Lots of weird stuff comes from Qld Bruce but that's another story. Gotta be light with that pretzel stick chassis.

Yea, May I think, no date yet, but have asked..

herskirt, Who invited you biatch.

I was already planning to go but I thought joining your group would give it the increase in IQ that it desperately needs........

That's absolutely true Andrew.... fibreglass that has cracked or has exposed edges deteriorates rapidly by injesting water along the fibres through a capilliary action. It's generally stuffed in most places by now (40 years). This one looked OK from what I could see - the "operative" work being "see".

Anyhow - I'd just like one to stick on the other side of our property from the van we have now - a 1960 Franklin. I know which looks far funkier though.... :) I don't think you'd drag one all over Australia - It'd be too fragile now (although the one I was has been a looooong way over the past few months.) I'd love to clean one up, take moulds and re-constitute everything that may have rotted. The windows and frames are fine. The interior would probably need to br replaced.

If it has been correctly wetted out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with 40yo fibreglass.

True again Shaker...... as long as it has.

To tell you the truth - this van looked like it was in pretty good nick.
