You won`t find one, so you may as well stop looking!

VIN numbers didn`t come in until considerably later.

Sounds like you have to have the caravan tested every year in Italy. We don't have to in UK.

My father had a 1965 Sprite Musketeer but I have no idea where the chassis number was.

Most will have it stamped on the A frame or on a small plate fixed somewhere.

You might try this forum, maybe someone has one.

If the chassis plate on the A-Frame is not enough then you wont find anything else.

Thats all they had in the early 70's.

Is there a club for older classic caravans? Join and find out how they managed it.

I once had a 1966 Spite Musketeer, and I seem to remember that it had a plate on the left hand side of the A frame, but that was 30 years ago. I suspect that the plate may now be long gone.

I agree with Grampian91, try to find an owners club.

Best Regards,
Colin
