Default Early 70's Trophy silver caravan

Has anyone got any information or photographs of an early 1970's Trophy silver 12 foot lightweight 4 birth caravan, I had a second hand one in the early 80's but sadly have lost all the photos and paper work a long time ago.

I have searched the web for articles on this caravan and drew a blank, it had a small convertable bouble birth at the front and a pullman type bunk at the rear off side, foot pump for cold water only, gas mantle lighting and no oven or fridge.

It was a very basic van but happy memories with it. They were white with a red stripe high up above windows along the sides and silver under front window, no gas locker, gas bottles just clamped to A frame, and all windows were glass with aluminium frames.

You had to get out and pull a lever on hand brake area before you could reverse the van or brakes would stay on when trying to reverse.
I would love to see any information about these old caravans.

If you are on Facebook try some of the retro caravan pages.

Remember Trophy well, neighbours had an Agrarian, which was a 6 berth
