SOLD

FOR SALE: BOWTOP GYPSY CARAVAN

1930s and of Irish origin. Restored and painted in 2005/6 by Nick Dow of Ingham and Fallon

A particularly pretty wagon. I bought it intending to use it to rent out with the self-catering cottage, but it's too special for that, with many unique features like the lovely stained glass windows above the bedspot.

It is in very good order for its age, and is totally weather-proof. The canvas roof is in good condition. The stove is in good working order and draws very well. The top lid can be raised for cooking.

There is a bird-print three-part mattress on the bed (which is unusually large and can be used as a single bed or pulled out to make a double)

We feel privileged to have had the use of the wagon for a couple of years, but we can't justify keeping it for a bit of camping in the summer. The wagon was stored in a dry shed all last winter (October 06 to July 07!) and, if the wagon isn't sold within the next few weeks, it will be stored again this winter and put up for sale next spring at an increased price. The price for buying now is £6,000 plus VAT. Please telephone (01598) 752310 or e-mail eveleigh@westilkerton.co.uk for further information or to arrange a viewing.
