Hi,
Just acquired this yesterday. Anyone know anything about it? Looks very manufactured rather than home made and sports a huge cast wing nut holding the spare wheel on! Needs a fair bit of work, mainly tidying and electrics, the ply floor is very iffy, and the hinges ont he lids are all seized and broken, but it looks pretty sound otherwise...

I saw something similar on ebay not long ago, I think that was a telephone engineer's trailer. Whether yours is the same I'm not sure, but might be an avenue to research....

Thanks. I did wonder about telephone engineers, but there's no sign of any green or yellow paint on it, just a thin coat of silver on the aluminium panels. Probably something of that nature though. In them meantime, a life of semi retirement, camping and light autojumbling awaits for it!
cheers
