So, only recently found this website and wondered if any of you smart folks may be able to name the constructor for our motorhome?

The only information I have is that its a 1983 Fiat Ducato, imported from Germany though it does have an Italian flag "badge" on the back, this may have been added at a later date.

There are no other markings, plates or clues anywhere to suggest a constructor.

"Cinzia" on the overcab may be a clue but may also have been added at a later date?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

There have been many Italian makers over the years and without a badge or model name, it is hard to identify

Good suggestion sending them a photo.

Have seen them before but figured it unlikely a South American manufacturer would be sending them over to Europe.

Since 1996, had Elddis/Swift/Rapido/Rimor/Chausson MHs. Autocruise/Globecar PVCs/Compactline i-138
Are you sure it was originally a MH? It looks very much like a caravan has been fitted to the rear of a chassis cab, the indentation at the rear bottom, the way the overcab has been fitted and doesn't match the rest, and the extremely high door/steps combo to me at least seems to suggest this.

I cannot answer your question but if you are interested, Jim was contacted by a film company wanting a MH like yours. Might be worth sending a PM to him?

It was definitely a MH from new.

Not sure how the overcab doesn´t match the rest?

The 'texture' is different and the way it's been added, it doesn't mean it wasn't built like that originally by the company but it is also how I've seen overcabs added to low-profile ones in the past too. Have you got the full history to see if it's had any accidents etc in the past which could shed light on the different panel types used etc?
