Caravanning tests

Shamelessly lifted from another site, I found these two very reminiscent of days gone by. I've usually fumed at these mobile road blocks, but some of 'em sure know how to drive!

Excellent find, thanks - only one problem, I have just spent ages on that site

Check out the related records at the bottom of the page some great old motor racing footage

Love that British Pathe archive - "when we had an Empire we made and sold proper stuff to the rest of world and it actually worked"

1966. Carlight Caribbean 'sells for a little over 1500..." (Wonder if that was pounds or Guineas?)

Now, iirc, my old had just bought a Cortina GT which sold or about £810 in those days. So the caravan was twice the cost of the mid market car. I think it was shortly after that he bought a caravan, mid market 'Sprite Alpine' as I recall, and that cost around £450 I think.

Those were the days ...
