Holdsworth Van models


Holdsworth produced lots of different models on different base vehicles over the period that they were active. To help you identify what model you have, we have included these pictures of some of the more common models that were produced.
Holdsworth model names usually used the first letter of the base vehicle at the start of the name. So for instance Volkswagen based models could be a Villa, Vista, Variety, Vision or Valentine, whilst a Ford Transit based model would be a Future and a Fiat based model could be a Fanfare or a Fantasia. Models on the same base vehicle with different names such as the Villa, Variety or Vision will have different internal layouts or could be a coach built van like the Valentine, rather than a panel van conversion. Some models were also produced with different roof styles - either as a high hardtop or a pop up roof


When Cockburn took over the company in 1995/6 they carried on producing similar models for a few years but they were badged as Cockburn - Holdsworth.
After this time Cockburn sold out to Autocruise so some Cockburn Holdsworth vans such as the Starfire continued to be produced as the Autocruise Starfire. Autocruise eventually sold out to Swift.
