Austin 7 and home built campout trailer - 1933

[griffin]

I found this item in the Coach and Motor Body Builder magazine of March 15, 1933. The collapsible campout trailer seems typical of the times. The builder even had a patented leveller device and a box to take the dog with him on the trip. Funny how someone of larger build chose the smallest car on the market for his travels.

While sorting some old copies from years ago I found I had another article relating to this outfit, at least I'm consistent in what I find interesting I suppose
Basically the same info with a different photo.

Wow George.
What a great story, and it even made it into two magazines. It still amazes me what people did back then, a husband and wife and daughter travelling the 4000 miles in a little Austin 7. No wonder he had to have a box for the dog on the draw bar, as there would have been no room inside for him.
