we,ve been stripping layers of paint from our safari and discovered this unfortunately barely recognisable. does it look familiar to anyone? i think the white letters on black probably say NATIONAL CARAVAN COUNCIL, but which nation, when and where. as it is on the first original layer of paint i thought it might be UK rather than Australia, or could have been somewhere in between from '68 or 69 Go sleuths!

This is an easy one to answer. The National Caravan Council was established in the UK just after the war to set standards of manufacturing for caravan makers. Pearman Briggs who were the manufacturers of Safari caravans got their certificate on 15th July 1953. I know as I have the original certificate on my office wall. Members could use the logo on all their production. This logo was used until sometime in the late 1960's/early 1970s. It was then changed to this style of logo which was used through to the end of Classic Safari production in 1982. I have looked at getting copy stickers printed - is there any demand for them?

thanks Brian, every little bit of information adds to the story. i did email NCC, hoping for a response and that someone knows the possible route through Europe in 1968/9. i will definitely like to buy a sticker if you do get them reproduced franni
