Just would love to see (or win a lottery and own) a vintage motorhome, from the 1920's/30's era. Never seen one at shows or on the road but have seen one or two images. Any enthusiasts here know of one?

We used to see one around the show circuit a 1920`s I think.
Not sure where it was from.

May have a photo in my archive.

Someone I knew years ago used to take a motorhome based on a 1920s Austin to the local shows. I must have a photo of it somewhere.

Rick, I have a photograph of the 1920s Austin that you mention up in my loft - it is an old print. I will look it out and post it up.

In the meantime I did come across this interesting camper, which I am sure that the Essex bunch on here will recognize.
