Vintage caravans market ‘stronger than ever’

A vintage caravan is the ideal accessory for a classic towing vehicle

by Gemma Roskell

The market for vintage caravans is stronger than ever, according to classic and performance cars magazine Octane.

The publication said events such as Vintage at Goodwood and the Revival have put classic caravans back in the public eye.

Caravan enthusiasts, particularly those who own classic cars, are therefore eager to get their hands on an old-fashioned model.

“A period caravan is the ideal accessory for your classic car,” Octane noted. “At the moment they’re reasonably cheap and surprisingly interesting.”

However, the magazine warned: “Supply is limited at the moment, and there’s little sign of that changing.”

Tracking down a period caravan could therefore be a tricky task.

Fortunately, Octane provided a quick guide to some of the best buys. On its list is the 1928 Angela caravan, which can be purchased for around £10,000, and the 1936 Winchester, which has a price tag of approximately £5,000.
