Caravans have certainly been getting their fair share of television coverage recently and that is set to continue when the BBC broadcasts a special feature about the nation’s favourite pastime on the One Show.

Having recently published a book about the history of Sprite Caravans, industry expert Andrew Jenkinson headed to Malvern for an interview with ex-England cricketer Phil Tufnell as part of the show on Friday 4th May.

Anyone tuning in at 7pm tonight will get to see Andrew telling Tuffers all about the history of the company and its founder Sam Alper, as the pair sit beside a beautiful 1957 Sprite 14.

“It was a great day and Phil and the BBC crew were brilliant, plus the star of the show was the Sprite 14 with its restorer Mike Wye,” said Andrew.
