A 1920’s vintage car and caravan combination could make a perfect duo for holidaying in the Charterhouse specialist auction of classic & vintage cars on Thursday 23rd October at The Haynes Motor Museum, Sparkford.
“The due certainly hark back to a time when the pace of life and the pace of motoring was a lot slower!” Commented Richard Bromell.
The caravan, a 1925 Eccles, is a small caravan affectionately known as Helen. Sadly, the owner from near the New Forest passed away recently and this vintage caravan, which could also be used as an Airbnb business, guest accommodation or a writers retreat, is being sold without reserve.
A car which could have towed a similar caravan nearly 100 years ago is a 1928 Austin 12/4 two door tourer with a Dickie seat comes to Charterhouse from near Marlborough. Still running and driving well this rare aluminium bodied Austin is estimated at £7,000-9,000.
This Charterhouse classic & vintage car auction of nearly 70 vehicles on Thursday 23rd October is at The Haynes Motor Museum, Sparkford. For further information contact Richard Bromell at Charterhouse in Sherborne 01935 812277 or via cars@charterhouse-auction.com
