Auto-Sleepers

Auto-Sleepers (often written as 'Autosleepers') resulted from two family build conversions in 1961 by the Trevelyan family on a Morris J2 and an Austin Van. In 1961 Henlys, the local BMC dealer commissioned 5 more Auto-Sleepers, and the company was born. Unlike other conversions, Auto-Sleepers made their own 'clamshell' glass fibre body of monocoque construction which would then be bolted onto the back of a van chassis. The Trevelyan family sold on the business in 1997, and from 2005 has been owned the Italian SEA Group.
