Another gentleman who I met at Motorfest this year has sent this late 1964 Roma brochure.

Roma Caravans doing the laps at Bathurst in 2011 :?: Not quite but I was surprised to see that car No 4, the Davidson/Brabham Ford :? was sporting Roma Caravans in big letters across the bonnet.
I thought the Roma Caravan web site might have a picture of the car but it only has a link to the Davidson site, no pictures there either. The car did pretty well at times and got its fair share of TV time, especially after ramming the sponsors sign into the back of another car :o Good to see a caravan constructor sponsoring a V8 touring car. Pity it wasn't on a Holden, might have done better :lol: :lol:

1957 ad for Roma Caravans.
It is interesting that the ad states that they have 29 years experience, which would date them back to 1928 as previously thought. :D :D
