A 1933 vintage Eccles No 35 caravan, 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. She 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
***Please note Lady Eccles is not at our Sherborne Salerooms, but being stored at Evercreech - to arrange a viewing and/or collection after the auction please contact Elizabeth on 01935 812277***
Putting on a trailer rather than towing home is recommended as the caravan now requires some work/repairs and restoration
