Ye har folks, bit of a hill billy thread but figured it might get a bit of banter going between trailers/caravan folks.

Heres mine the plate dissappeared Sunday and I cant find it, new one ebay'd.

Badly fitted canvis cover. 20bhp extra. (H)

Leaf springs and ford wheel trims, its practicially a Mustang.

Has been in our family for about 25 years now, rebuilt three times, passed from my grandfather, to my father and now to me so its kinda special to me. How sad I know, shes due another rebuild shortly (I did the last one when I was 16 for my father as a summer project, ten years ago!), but my word shes taken some abuse over the years.

Plan to rebuild it and paint the metal LQW, with a chequed metal floor and new wood sides in a black varnish. Oh and a set of MG wheel trims if i can find them LMAO.

Show us yours!

Is that your counting rack at the front

. Don´t ever take it to scandinavia as you would be stopped in the first 100 meters

No mudguards, dangerous for other road users

given that I have a 75 Tourer Connoisser SE...I just had to get a compass connoisseur touring caravan!

I like the large window on the side. Reminds me of the old Chevvy Surburban vans of the 70s

. Door at the end is a good idea as it usually means that the weight in the van is well distributed over the axel

A nice trailer like that is just the job for shifting rubish and carting things around (over here that would have to be registered, get it´s own reg number and taxed every other year as well as MOT.... so some things are better in UK

)

What a great looking caravan and it's made me start thinking again about buying another one.
We started with a Lunar Venus and then bought a twin axle Elldis Emperor which was a Cranham caravan dealer special.
Do you tow with a 75 tourer or saloon.

some pics of the Tourer towing :-) had a fabulous day at Cadwell Park in Lincolnshire

Only getting 30mpg when towing - what do you guys get?
