thinking of purchasing this little gem & need help identifying it I think it either a Millard or viscount but the owners are unsure as there's no markings on it it's a 12 ft van & 70ish model I think?? tried to get them to tell me chassis number to help but wouldn't unless I buy but not going to do that until I view this one also there unsure if it's got a timber or alloy framework inside to hold wall on but you might guys & gals might be able to tell me sorry about pics it's all I got & not that clear      |

I'm leaning towards millard due to the twin windows at the front & back but I'm no expert

I believe the viscounts just push out

Hi Darren,
That van was made by Regency caravans(not the same modern Regency) and sold as a Customline by Judd and Innes in Dandenong,who had another yard in caravan city Croydon where they were sold as a Wayfarer!!
They were made in a factory in Moorabin and they never made too many,hence not many around to go by.
This one has a wooden frame,and if it has a 4 seasons hatch it's about 1977,if it has a windup hatch it will be earlier.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Hope this helps Cheers hughdeani Hugh, You should publish a book on Classic Identification!!!! Darren, The van seems a tad negleted, but not abused, the panels from the images shown do not appear to have the hits normally associated. If it looks visually straight there may only be little rot, in the lower panels. |

Hope this helps Cheers hughdeani Hughdeani what can I say you really know your stuff I got out to check out this little van today and still debating on the purchase or not as it does have a timber frame but will need all the ceiling & wall panels replace from water damage (Not bad) but I did go around all the timber frame from inside & out & applied pressure & nothing seemed to be spongey or soft & felt quite solid still this is totally original accept the table has been replace & the four season hath was removed & covered So with your info I wanted to check out some things & it's spot on It's a wayfarer sold from caravan city in croyden vic & must be around 1977 as it had a four seasons hatch not sure if the chassis number can tell me anymore but it is R-1363   |

Gday Mymillardmicro That van looks to be in reasonable nick for its age I had an earlier model Wayfarer in the late 1970s and early 80s and travelled half of the country with my old HD holden as a tow car and it was a brilliant old van. The only drawback was it was a little heavy for the poor old holden but we survived  Did you check the wooden frame around where the wheel archs are ...that was the only place that I found to have any rot but they where a good honest old van ! The earlier one that I had had a roll nose front and the older style hatch with pushout widows Good luck with the purchase ! Cheers Andy  circa 1980 (sorry about the crap quality pic )  |
