Critics Review
‘Of particular note in this praise-worthy introduction is the broad spread of archive images and period advertisements that recognise the many different vehicles that have been available. Great fun - like the camper vans themselves.’ – Classic Cars Weekly, March 2025‘The fine spread of archive images and period advertisement that recognise the many different vehicles will promote much discussion along the lines of “Dad had one of those” and “I’ve never seen an example of that variant”. Great fun, like the campervans themselves.’ – Best of British Magazine, April 2025‘This neat little book from Amberley Publishing covers the development of the campervan.’ – Track Kit Custom Magazine, July/ August 2025
