Sigh...my family had friends from England who 
came over to race International 14 dinghies (he 
was an orthopod and they later emigrated to New 
Zealand).  They brought their T2 caravan with 
them and I instantly fell in love.  They 
explained that in UK there was a tax on 
automobiles but not on caravans, so there were a 
number of companies that would do a minimum 
qualifying conversion for the price of the 
tax.  So you could have whichever you wanted, 
same price.  This would have been  around '68-9.
