“cockerels may crow but it's the hen that lays the egg." Re: Mr Spreckly's Bow Top Gypsy CaravansThanks for the link Julie. We saw a micro caravan at a rally a couple of years since. Just the thought of cooking and preparing food under the cover in the rain is a bit off-putting, but they are very popular.
Re: Mr Spreckly's Bow Top Gypsy CaravansI've just had time for a good look at Mr Spreckly's wagonette restoration and
I think it really is an outstanding job. The skilled woodwork and recycled items of the fit out have nicely preserved the warmth and character missing from modern caravans. The colour scheme is spot on. Your response to people who call it an ice cream van etc is probably more polite than they'd get from me. Critisism comes easier than craftsmanship. Re: Mr Spreckly's Bow Top Gypsy Caravans` If you are interested let me know and I'll put you in contact with a friend who builds these for an hobby. I don't think he sells them but you'll probably like the pictures and ideas. Allotment http://taylorsplot.blogspot.com/

Re: Mr Spreckly's Bow Top Gypsy CaravansPossibly of interest as the artwork on some canal boats is similar to vintage caravans.
This is the decoration in the back cabin of the replica vintage boat I am building. (which is why I've not been active on here recently) In the small cabin space is at a premium so the bow topped cupboard front drops down to become a dining table: A panel inside the back door with floral decoration: BTW - hinges and beading still to be painted. Re: Mr Spreckly's Bow Top Gypsy CaravansBeautiful, Andy. We have several bits of barge painting in the kitchen, adds so much colour and warmth to the place. All the best with your replica vintage boat.
Re: Mr Spreckly's Bow Top Gypsy CaravansIdont know how iv missed this thread Mr and Mrs Spreckly and Andy the skill and craftmanship is outstanding and very beautiful. Spreckly your lovely wagonette reminds me of our first static caravan small but perfectly formed and what lovely hollibobs we had in her Lindaxx
And then there was one, Again!!!!
