HERE WE HAVE SOMETHING TOTALLY UNIQUE I WOULD IMAGINE !
A SHOWMANS TRAILER FROM CIRCA 1957 WITH STRIKING AMERICAN CAR STYLE REAR FINS. STILL WITH ALL ITS ORIGINAL FEATURES, INCLUDING A FLAVEL GAS COOKER, FRIDGIDAIRE REFRIDGERATOR, COLLARO BAKELITE RECORD TURNTABLE, PINK & CREAM LEATHER BUNKS AND PARQUET FLOOR, THIS VAN IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A COMPLETE RESTORATION. THIS MUST HAVE BEEN A SPECIAL 'ONE OFF' ORDER FROM A VERY WEALTHY SHOWMAN, IT WOULD HAVE COST A SMALL FORTUNE.......CURVED & CUT WINDOWS LONG BEFORE A WESTMORLAND STAR WAS DREAMED OF !! LOOK AT THE WALL THICKNESS..........

THE MERE SIZE OF THIS INDICATES IT WAS A ORIGINALLY THE EXTERIOR WAS CREAM & GOLD
SHOWMANS VAN RATHER THAN A GYPSY TRAILER
ANYBODY REMEMBER SEEING THIS IN PAST TIMES ?
IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR WOULD LIKE
