1950 Rare and Beautiful Pilot Showman Caravan For Sale

This is Dot a rare and beautiful Coach built Pilot Showmans Caravan circa 1948, and she is one of a kind and I believe there are only a couple left alive. I brought her back to life as a labour of love over a four year period along with two other similar vans a Paladin and Coventry knight. All amazing coachbuilt vehicles, the British version of the Airstream and often referred to as Pan loafs because of their similarity to a loaf! funnily enough.
I am very reluctantly selling her (and potentially the whole Lot three vans and two horse box trailers) after 12 years of loving them, generating an income from them and being their custodian and champion, and I am looking for someone who will love her as much as I have, be her custodian for the next part of her journey to provide even more joy and pleasure to someone. With a heavy heart It is time for me to focus on a different direction.

Dots soul is firmly intact She is a truly special object and is old school with Bespoke interior furnishings, original Coachbuilt furniture, oak floor, fantastic hobbit wood-burning stove, (Gas safe register installed with certificate) some of her gas lamps are still intact (currently unusable but could be reinstated by someone)
She has new hand built roof lights, Original kitchen and cupboards she has been restored with minimal intrusion into the original nature of the van and as such is even rarer for that. She has no electric as she has always been about going back to a completely unplugged experience, but it would be easy to install solar panels if you wanted too.
She is a four birth so has a small bedroom at the end with bunks in it and a sliding door, which you could make into a bathroom if you wanted too, a large double bed that is made from the chairs in the main living area and a small original kitchen in the middle. She is approx 22 foot long and 7ft wide and about a ton in weight. To move her she would need trailering to her new home, we have a brilliant and very reasonable contact if you need help to organise this, we move her around the field when we have had too which is no problem. I am sure with a bit of tic she could be up and on the road again...

If you are looking for something extraordinary as an extra room for guests, office, work room, ready made glamping business this is something with extra wow factor to your normal caravan.

Please be aware of how rare she is and what a piece of classic history she is, she is an investment and will only increase in value.

She is a biggish girl and as such she would need to be put on the back of a trailer to be moved to her new home. She is currently situated on a farm in Devon.
For all genuine enquiries, I am looking for offers around £14, 000 I am more interested in her going to the right next home so sensible offers will be considered.

If you want to know anything then please contact me for any questions.
thank you for looking Sadie
