Pre Sale Orders are now available!!
After fifteen years of research and curation of many original images, author/
photographer Russell Slocombe, presents the most comprehensive hardcover book on the history of Australian Vanning.

Russell has been involved in vanning since
the early 1980's including -
* local and state committees,
* host of many large events including the Bathurst (40th) Van Nationals,
* former regular contributor to Eddie Ford's Custom Vans & Trucks magazine,
* editor and photographer of the magazine,
Vantastic
* PLUS designer/builder of the four time Nationals winning van, Red Baron.

You can be sure this will be a quality insight into -
* the 1970's origins of vanning craze where one in three vehicles in Australia was a van (similar to SUV's in the present day),
* the show-stopping custom vans of 1980's
* the millennium vans and domination of Escort vans in the 2000's,
* the preservation and restoration of vans into the future.

Pre Sale Orders will be ready for pick up at the RED BARON display during Easter at the Mildura Van Nationals, or can be shipped after the event for an additional fee. Sales may be possible at the event if stocks last.
