It was made especially for the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal as children and given to them in 1955.

So just a one off :P but there are plenty of small caravans out there, can't remember the name of the tear drop shaped one.. that would be perfect!

Hi there working on a caravan for mini's and classic cars to pull.
They will be fibreglass construction & have cooking facilities , sink & self sufficient electrics.
Hopefully ready for IMM.
So keep a look out for them.

I think it'd be great fun to tow one!

The caravan shown above at the Bristol show is called an Eriba Puck and these are very popular with Mini owners, I've seen a fair few around. The only problem is that they are way too heavy to tow behind a Mini legally, as are most other small caravans and trailers. The only real and legal options for a caravan are the various plywood teardrop trailers available such as the Little Guy and Bed Bug trailers, although some of these are also too heavy.

That's at Beaulieu - I saw it when I had a wander round the museum! Took a couple of pics but not uploaded yet.
