Inchiquin Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Oh yes! We stayed in a caravan very similar to that in Winchelsea Beach for several holidays in the 50s. We didn't have a car, but rented one when we arrived. The only one I remember was a Standard 8, because I was thrilled to bits when my daredevil father drove it at an unheard-of speed of 65mph along Pett Level.
