Silverline Pegasus 12/2 Information Resource

Surprisingly there is not a lot of information out there on either Silverline the Manufacturers, or this model. What little I have scrapped together is mostly anecdotal but is referenced so feel free to link to these other sparce information sources to check them out for yourself.

Silverline was based in Yorkshire, UK, but ceased trading in 1992, leaving very little information behind, I guess this was a fair time before t'internet really got going. Silverline specialised in smaller light weight caravans, their other models consisted of the teeny-weeny Silverline Nova Princess (designed to be towed by a Nova - blast from the past; my Grandad had one of these) and they also produced their middle range model the Silverline Silvercrest (bigger than the Nova Princess but smaller than the Pegasus). It's hard to believe, but Dainty Dolly was top of the range in her heyday! Silverline managed to cram everything that was expected from a much bigger, heavier caravan, into their range making them extremely well kitted out for their weight and size which was a first, and considered to be impressive at the time.
