The trailer you can keep in your boot. FFS why not just tow it to wherever you need to load it up? In the meantime, what do you do with all the shit that was in the boot.

Wonder how sturdy it is.

Fry up some eggs whilst driving to work (careful with that hot cooking oil), then have a nice cup of tea..

Do you have the advert for the onboard record player? I seem to recall that there were at least two versions: one that would play your 7-inch single horizontally (as per a traditional turntable), and another that did it vertically.....

One wheel trailer. Self-emptying as you drive, dispose of any rubbish you have, broken TVs, old washing machines, old shoes, garden leaves, etc.

'Liar liar, pants on fire,  . . '.

And making the ad picture huge is fooling no-one.

Wow fab groovy, etc.

Astonishing 100E, except they don't actually look like that, they're quite short and dumpy. Maybe it's a rare factory roof chopped version for not-tall people.

'Dear Chrysler,

Please please could you donate a new Avenger for our latest car project. We will carry out minor mods only to the car and say that all Chrysler products are the very bestest in the whole fucking world ever.

Yours, etc, Custom Car Magazine, around 1976'.

(This actually happened. I don't think Chrysler were too happy with the end result. I don't think they wanted it back).

Later in it's life. NRW 53P.

NRW53P has been untaxed since 1983.

A Zodiac right there at the reception desk, with some carpet.. Very cool. Where's Swiss Tony to close the deal?

Which would you choose, MGB or children? Well now you can have both with the MGBGT.

Fuck off frost, for I have a defrosting gun with a long flex and I'm not afraid to use it.

 

'Aw no, now the battery's flat'.

The 'Limpet'. Out of all the names in the world . . . .

Gives complete coverage in rain. Impressive selling point for a tent, as opposed to 'It Doesn't Give Very Good Coverage In Rain'.

Frisky?

Wear these - feather light and sensitive.

No need to worry about fast growing children.

Looks like they invented the hairdryer by mistake...bit of conundrum though...if your lock is frozen how do you get into the car to plug it in Q?

In the great tradition of not testing your product before production - have an idea and just make - let the buyer do the testing. One wheel and crazily shallow - attached to the bumper by two big u-bolts too. 

I was going to pop over but looking at streetview I see they are no longer at 407 High Road Finchley which is now a petrol station on the north circular. Little do those innocently filling up these days realise it was once the home of this single-wheel invention. Perhaps there should be a blue plaque?

Former factory still survives in Hackney. Not sure about the van though?

Or dry clean only...Brave brave man was Donald Campbell. The later Bluebirds were really a jet engine with wheels or hull with Donald attached.

Always short of ££'s he must have done the ad to raise money for his exploits. 

That footage on Coniston always sticks in my mind as I am old enough to remember it happening at the time. People were stunned but he was well aware of the risks.

The boat is restored and viewable of course.

The restoration itself wasn't without controversy, as there is a body* of opinion* that thinks it should never have been raised / restored / run again.
