Any information on what it is? Looks to be mid 50s and the small window should give a clue...
Could be a Fan or 55 Cardinal. It really looks like an early Hanson, too, but I've never seen that small window in a Hanson...

WOAH! If the "Get Rhythm" above is any indication of the coolness factor of Brit vintage trailers, this one is at least as cool as anything I've seen here! Any idea how long it is? Looks like the box is around 13'. Do you know where the pic is taken?

Sean, All I can say is WOW! One thing though, the UK versions of campers are so alien to us over the pond that I for one would love to know the year and make of each also if you know. I had the pleasure of visiting over the pond a couple different times in the early 80's. Back then though I was too into looking at the cars, bikes and women! Had a great time and everyone I met always treated me really well and all were very friendly. The caravans you have over there are totally awesome. Wish I had enough $$$ to import one here. Thanks for the pics! soup

Looks like the box is around 13'. Do you know where the pic is taken? I think it's actually made by Eccles , the "get rhythm" badge has been added by the owner as has the drive-in speakers , continental spare wheel kit , rear bumper and side ornaments .....

OK now this is just way too cool on so many different levels. The wheel skirts are fantastic. So functional also what with it being so low because it makes getting the wheels off a breeze. The way the roof is crowned in the middle is very typical of the euro designs. I like that too as it's harder for standing water to accumulate for very long. I think it would also be good for snow loads. The lines on this design are just too much. I gotta build one now. I wish I could see the inside.
