Stirling 14 Vintage Caravan For Sale

This Stirling 14 caravan was bought new in Easter 1959 and has now become a vintage caravan. The epitome of luxury from that time, it's reminiscent of the seaside of the old times. Time and seaside air has turned the towing brackets into ferrous Viennetta but the underside of the caravan is in quite good condition, and the tyres still have air in them. The luxury wood interior of the caravan is built like a yacht but dampness over the years has not been favourable to the state of it. So, some restoration work is required and will be quite a challenge to anyone daring enough to take on this labour of love, to restore the vintage caravan to its former glory.

The upholstery is in quite good condition, and is made of much thicker stuff than even the most expensive caravans these days. The caravan still has its original gaslamps, dinner plates and cups&saucers, classic old-style whistling kettle, and some seaside paraphernalia from the old times.

The caravan is a family heirloom and I feel it should be treasured. But I am finding it a bit difficult to emigrate (as a tax exile) with it, as the caravan is a bit fragile and will require careful moving onto a low-loader trailer or into a container.

Viewing visits (to a location in the East of England) should be arranged on an appointment basis.

I'm open to offers, but all offers should include a photograph to be sent after the restoration. Partly this is so I can be sure it's "going to a good home", but it's also so I can publish the "before and after" shots online.
