Description
Charterhouse Auctioneers are pleased to offer this item in our upcoming Antiques auction on the 6th of January 2023
Affectionately known as Lady Eccles
First owner was owner was Sir Rowse Boughton, who bought her from The London Caravan Company in Bond Street, London
At the outbreak of the war she was commissioned into the war effort, being used by the Observer Corps until the end of hostilities
Sir Rowse Boughton died in 1962 and left the caravan to his daughter
Sir Rowse Boughton's daughter died in 1992, after which it was discovered by the vendor's parents in a very sorry state and she was then restored to her former glory
She will make an ideal companion to be towed behind a vintage car for touring, she will also make an excellent alternative to a shepherds hut for those looking to generate some extra income as an Air B & B type rental, to put visitors up, or even as a quirky home office or studio
Putting on a trailer rather than towing home is recommended as the caravan now requires some work/ repairs and restoration
