Founded in 1969 by Ken Wilcock and Brian Talbot, Lunar Caravans was named to commemorate the Apollo 11 moon landing. From its Lancashire headquarters, the company pioneered the ‘lightweight luxury’ philosophy, delivering high-end interior refinements within a chassis towable by standard family cars. This approach helped the brand secure a loyal following throughout the 1970s and 1980s as touring became more accessible to the UK public. During the 1990s and 2000s, Lunar solidified its position with flagship models like the Clubman and Delta, which integrated advanced heating systems and high-quality cabinetry. The company underwent several ownership transitions, including a period under the European Tethis Group, before a management buyout in 2007 returned the firm to independent British ownership. Despite a strong reputation for innovation and several industry accolades, the company entered administration in 2019, with assets subsequently acquired by Lunar Automotive. While mass production has ended, the brand’s legacy continues through a robust second-hand market and a dedicated community of owners who value their historic commitment to refined, lightweight touring.
