JeeExEll Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Escort Elba camper entered in 1970 World Cup London to Mexico. Didn't finish. Am not sure if they actually slept in it. Handy for a cup of tea or a quick fry-up though. (Note pop-up roof and picnic basket. The one piece rear door is hinged at the bottom to make an extended bed platform, covered by a fold-out tent thing). Get the banjo out round a camp fire, etc. This pic shows maybe another Elba following on. London support van? Publicity vehicle? Lost tourist? Don't know.

Bfg Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 . One can almost picture the cups n' saucers, pots n pans, bedding and potty, all being flung around in the back of that in an off-road section of the rally ! Retired (..as unsafe) : due to driver being knocked unconscious by a can of Heinz beams, five rear windows being smashed, and the co-driver upset with what the potty had poured down the back of his neck !

JeeExEll Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 All nice and cosy. Safe from Mexican banditos? - " Yerrr, should be alright". (Note - rally entry 'did not finish'. - Did anyone actually see the crew or the van again?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffcortinacentre Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 As the Mexico was named after its success in the rally a G reg camper or not wouldn't be known as such like the cars entered (twincams) it will have been fitted with a 1.6 crossflow better suited to the dubious fuel available in the later stages/countries .

No longer any parking on Westminster Bridge - and a lot less private cars because of the C-charge - now mostly buses, black taxis and Ubers. Cycle lanes on both sides of the bridge too. On the right hand side there are bus stops and all the guard railings are gone and there is a pelican crossing. Building on the right the former home of the Greater London Council now a hotel. Parliament at the back was stone-cleaned after this was taken so now a much lighter colour too. And to the right of Big Ben there are new parliamentary offices - Portcullis House.
