Olympic Contessa(?) in daily use.

[griffin]

Hi all
Decided to be a nice bloke and took the grandkids to the local show at Camden on the weekend so I was surprised when walking around 'side show alley' to find the back side of an Olympic van presenting itself from the resident's compound A closer look and it had a Contessa logo on one side but there was no one around to talk to about it and my 'walkabout' found a large unfriendly looking mongrel dog chained to it The colour scheme or light blue on the bottom half with the aluminium strip painted pink was something different I took a couple of quick photos and got back to the grandkids.

Looking at the photos now though it doesn't seem to be any bigger or different to our my Debonair apart from a towel rack on the back instead of handles, but then I'm no expert. I also notice it has wheel arch cut outs maybe added at some stage for easier access and an offside window has been changed to a large single pane type Now I wish I hadn't let the dog put me off and I'd had a better look:oops:

It was Queensland registered and nice to see one still used daily by the carnival folk hard life I reckon though, even with the luxury of an Olympic van
