I'm after a favour really, I'm looking to put together a (non-commercial) website that's just pictures of vintage or retro caravans (pre85)and old campsite pics & postcards etc, so if you've got any you wouldn't mind sharing I'd love to see them,

With a bit of luck this project will keep a couple of "delinquents :)" off the streets during the wet and freezing cold "summer" holidays !
.
or If you know anyone that might have some it would be great if you pass this on.

Thanks

Good idea, how cool is the site with the vans on top of each other.  I have never seen anything like that before.

Excellent site well done! All you need to do now is add all the weights and sizes too, LOL!

I bet that has taken a lot of work to do.

there are many listed on E-bay. May be worth asking the selleres if you can use their pictures.

Wow what a brilliant site. A stroke of genius.

I love the caravan park with all the vans stacked up.

"there are many listed on E-bay. May be worth asking the selleres if you can use their pictures"

yeah I've beem doing that, but I don't want to do too many as technically it's spamming and I don't want to upset either the sellor or ebay ;)
