I wonder where the old girl is now, I hope she's been restored.

Hi John , hope you're ok from Anne, and Edward

The chest drawers of lovely mahogany. Upholstery and beveled mirrors. Cut vineleaf in the glass. Fireplace was gorgeous, Stove and oven, coal. Thank John, I am sure you and other artisan crafters will carefully restore it. I would like to see pictures of those special horses, too. Thank you for your detailed explanations.

Oh my, that interior takes my breath away. Polished mahogany. Gold leaf stenciling . Great carvings , horse's head. Oil lamp with chimney. Quality glass decorated wit roses. Embellishments of motifs of fruit. Velvet padding in sleeping area. Didn't know about tents for sleeping or cooking outside. I am sure they were efficient and decorated too? I hope there are historic photographs at a museum. Fascinating. I appreciate this information and the opportunity to view this.

Awesome presentation. I like all of your explanations. Thank you John. Thank for the nice video. Someone's family loved this van and took excellent care of it. An important piece of cultural history.

very interesting!! :)

Where can I watch the whole movie. Saw it in 1970, my favorite. So passionate

A what are you going to do with it ???

Boys, it's R I A D Ocean Studios gave the answer

The answer is 'it is heated, then placed on the wheel, then quickly cold down'

Science homework brought me to this video

Very unique craftsmanship

Science homework brought me here 🤦

I never would guessed they slid the shutters...

Thankyou...the detail explanation is best on internet.. Wonder if the underside was fancy not just because but because they would also sleep under there....so it would be seen more than most?

i'm here for science homework and i'm stalking the comments for the answer

Is this grandma and grandpas wagon? Where did the kids sleep?😬

Science homework 1.45

Dab 1b ftw

If you’re here for essential science, the answer is ‘It is heated and placed on wheel and then quickly cooled down.’

Nice

YOU OUGHT TO HOW THE MATER MORE CONSIDERATION HAHAHAHAHA

Amazing speed up those hills, that 4x4 went very well with such a load. Pity it couldn't last just that bit longer to get it home but you did well to find a stopping place. It looked like a very hill and heavy load! Good luck with the restoration!

Six times

Thank you for sharing this, I am building a Dunton reading style vardo (1895 -1900 style) and this video has been a treasure trove of info. Mine is a mid range vardo with only four cut glass knobs (green) on each shutter.

Enjoyed learning about this van very much. Thank you.

iam so proud to be a Romney gypsy my mum still has my great nans photos up of her in a reding what a lovely vardo...great video's m8.

Well done and nicely demonstrated

Bravo!

Hi Sean - please visit our website gypsywaggons.co.uk to see more waggons and to find our email address on the Contact Us page. Then we can help you with more information.

I am in the process of building a Ledge Vardo and would like to ask a couple of questions about it's construction. How may I go about doing so without making a general post?

I think you're right.

it looked like an arc weld to me, hence it was cut out of the programme... heh

does anyone have the complete episodes of this series? These are only short clips

Such a joy! A novella that was there to be fully brought to life on the screen. None of butchering necessary to bring a full length novel to the screen. The success of this film reminds me of Babette's Feast, drawn fully to life from a short story. A lesson for screenwriters and producers.

Soooo beautiful. I swear I might have been a Gypsy in a past life because everything about the culture just seems so wonderful and welcoming to me. I draw and paint, and even before I was aware of the real Romany culture, I would still somehow end up making art very similar to traditional Gypsy art, like displayed in these wagons. It's so fantastic and so surreal.

@sweetypie000 Ha ha! Ginger Bastard!
