From what information Glasses Guide gives the Ascot first appeared in 92 through 94 as a 2, 4 or 5 berth, in 94 the 'Royal' Ascot range was introduced and after 94 the 5B only continued as a Royal Ascot. No listing for a 5B 93 model? and none at all after 96 so the firm must have ceased trading sometime in this year.

The 5B came in several different lengths and in 94 also as twin axle model, un-ladened weights then varied from 813kg to 965kg for the T/A model. Payload for a 5B is quite high so I'd add 250-300kg to give an idea of gross weight, I would need the year, internal body length, or model for a closer guide weight.

This may not help a lot, but we used to have a 1991 Trophy Olympic Silver, also a 5 berth. The plate on this was definitely by the door, so it is possible that the plate on the van you are looking at has come off. The weights of our van were unladen 828kg and maximum laden weight 1082kg. We owned two Trophy vans over the years and found them to be well-made, reliable caravans.
