Assorted vintage Brit teardrops/trailers

I've just come across this page of photos of the "Celebration of the Classic Caravan" at the Goodwood Festival of a few years ago.

The Berkeley Statesman double-decker is a bit weird and was part-way through restoration (featured in a TV program on trailers).

The little caravan top right is called a Bristol Wing Van and is equally weird - it doesn't look to be long enough to lie down inside.

Forget the vans, check out those cars. A VANGUARD :shock: I haven't seen one of those for years.
Cheers
