I thought it would be fun to start a thread on Caravans that we are not sure what they are, or the owners aren't to sure either.
So to start we have an aluminium clad van that looks to me as its an early Millard ( hopefully hughdeany will confirm ) which the owner claims is a caravan built by General Motors Holden. With the only thing that looks like a Holden are the hubcaps.
It is interesting though as this is the second van that I have seen that was supposedly built by Holden, the other one was a Sunliner with EJ Holden tail lights.

Hi Richard,
funny that these names keep coming up!
Many people believe what is on old obscure registration labels and paperwork,not for a minute thinking that when a van is re-registered you can just about put any name you want on it!
This van is without a doubt a Millard,with Holden hubcaps as you observed.
Never heard of GMH making caravans.
cheers

Somewhere among the hours I've spent researching on 'Trove' I ran across an item that suggested GMH were looking at caravan manufacture, sometime in the mid to late 1930s. If, as I'm sure I would have, I kept a copy of the item, but I can't lay my hands on it at present. I'll keep looking and post it when it turns up. It might have been an interesting sideline for them had it gone ahead.
