Bessacarr Caravans

Bessacarr was acquired by Swift in 1996. In September 2007 Swift decided to cease production of the Bessacarr caravan range following a major review of all its brands and as part of a long-term plan to simplify the business. This did not stop the demand and so in January 2008 Swift decided to supply limited quantities of new vans, as dealer specials, to two dealers. Those dealers were Couplands Caravans and Swindon Caravans. The vans are now only available through Couplands and are based on other models in the Swift Group's range.
