[meggersdog]

Saw that silly Orion combo at Maxey car show in September 09.The car itself looked quite nice and it looked like ghia spec interior.

Renner 11.

[Mr H Sceptre]

Deffo Renner, but surely an 11 would be a bit of a tight fit? 21 maybe?

[pogweasel]

It;s been sectioned in the middle!

Ive got a manky Maestro van coming which I indend to chop about so you may all have another nice car-cum trailer to roffle about soon.

[Mr Lobster]

Definately Ren 11. Seemless job though, hard to tell its not a factory fitted thing

I love this, the colour really sets it off, I need to find someone who has a car in this colour so I can get to work with my angle grinder late one night...

I spotted these (not too well photographed, I'm afraid!) for sale in a garage in Shenley, Hertfordshire, a few weeks ago.

 

The pictures show an "H" reg Rover Mini Cooper, complete with grilles over the headlights, and a Mini Cooper trailer, with a white cover, looking the same as the roof on the car. Looked a neat combination, but it was a bank holiday Monday.... so the garage was closed.... and there was a pub opposite.... which was open AND served an excellent draught cider.... so we popped in....

interesting to note Rover 800 trailer has towball mounting on back. Could make some kind of Rover roadtrain effort with multiple trailers.

I think you can tow multiple trailers, but you are limited to a top speed of 40MPH. Thats why fairground lorries are so damn slow.

i understood you had to be member of the showmans guild to tow more than one trailer, and as a member you dont need a driving license or insurance - explains why showman always have a police escort

 

edit: just found this, although it doesnt explain multiple trailers, it does explain showmen's vehicles are exempt from operators license, plating and tachos and get reduced road tax

I've posted this before, but this seems like a good excuse to post again. Spotted in the Yorkshire Dales many years ago....

Saw this one today at Ripley Castle.

Traveller was tip-top, trailer wasn't quite as good - orangepeel all over but looked clean enough.
