Noels "Regal" Caravans.
852 Princess Highway. Springvale North. Victoria.

I have been reading through my Caravan World magazine collection and I was finishing 1975 with the Caravan Buyers Manual, where I came across an ad for Noels Regal Caravans. I have read ads for this company in every other magazine, but this one states that Noels Regal Caravans first commenced business in 1915 and were early manufactures of caravans.

I have carried out a bit of research but have come to a dead end at this stage, Iam not sure if they were trading under this name in 1915, or if the business name changed at some stage. It is very interesting as this would make them one of the first caravan manufactures in Australia, so the search continues.

I have dug up a little more info on Noels Regal Caravans.

I have found an ad from the 1975 Caravan World Caravan Guide which shows in very small writing that 1975 was their 60th anniversary year.
