One off Romany caravan from Wilsons
Now for something a little different on the auction front, due to the tradition of burning the caravans of owners who had died, few true Romany caravans have survived through the years.
However, Wilsons Auctions is now offering this rare piece of history, claiming that there are only a handful of originals left in the world.
The auctioneers say that this particular example has been cared for meticulously for over a century and a half and this can be seen in how well it is presented for sale.
The online auction of this vintage horse-drawn caravan is starting on Wednesday, December 15, at 2:00p.m. Lots will timeout from 2:00p.m on Friday, December 17.
