Hi Steve
Sure it was an American who first said “ if you’ve got it, flaunt if “ 😉
To my knowledge, but not definitive numbers, the UK probably has 4 or 5 of these left.
1. Willerby themselves bought Peter Jolley’s a couple of years ago,
2. another untouched one was last seen in Hull, the owner very kindly loaned me his wheel spats so I could get a mould made, as mine came with spats missing. The same owner, some 12 or 14 years ago, also loaned them to the man in Sweden for his restoration.
3. the Bakelite museum had one, now
sold on.
4. My own.
5. A much modified one where the fibre glass “chassis” was cut out and replaced with a standard caravan chassis,
I also know of one on a camping caravan site in France, again much modified as it is used along with 6 other “ vintage “ Caravans for retro weekend rentals.
Did hear of the Vogue which ended up in Sweden,
sold to someone in Belgium, then it was wrecked in an accident on its way to a
rally in Sweden. Am told it is to be repaired.
Cheers
