Something a little different this Christmas?
It’s that time of year again. The season of good will to all and hopefully a chance to take some time off and relax.
Between now and the big day there is going to be much talk of presents. Children will want the latest games machine, or impossible-to-find-sold-out-everywhere fad toy, Mums will want everyone to be happy and no one ever knows what Dad wants… until now
CaravanTimes started looking at what, in the world of caravanning, you could get for the price of a modern games machine? We planned to do a Christmas present feature but we were immediately struck by this Eccles Topaz which we think is a 1982 model though not certain.
This little beauty is on eBay right now for the next 8 days with the very round buy it now price of £360.
As you can see from the photos it looks like its been loved and is well traveled. The seller “Angel-Greav” (eBay name) describes it as “easy to tow” which from the photos of them towing it with a Fiesta must be correct. They also describe it as an “ideal starter caravan”.
If you already have a caravan, what about family and friends who have thought about it? this could be a real Gem (get it?).
Please note we have not seen the caravan in person and have no idea of it’s condition or reliability.
Have any of our readers owned a topaz in the 80’s? If so let us know what they were like and anything to watch out for when buying?
