A Thomson Mini Glen!







And it's light enough to be legally towed by a Mini Hopefully I will take it to one or two shows this year.


Oh and are there any anoraks out there that could identify the hub caps... they look like early Mini items to me

Every time someone mentions Caravans I think inbetweeners. Cool having one you can tow with a mini, just make sure your subframe mounts are %100

Minis will quite happily tow a small caravan,was a common site in the 70s.

our `new`caravan is an Otten very light so can be towed by a mini.....don`t think my mini will quite be up to it though

The original thompson mini glen was designed to be towed by an 850 mini, its a lovely caravan, what weight is it? The early ones were 450 kg i think? Nice buy, make sure all the exterior sealant is in good condition and it will stay noce and rot free.

and thats why its illegal to be in a caravan when its moving

I believe it's about 460kg. Yep the press release photos did show it being towed with a Mini 850! I haven't tried it with the Mini but my dad said it towed very well with the discovery - the brakes work and everything! The problem with towing it with a discovery is that the tow bar is a bit too high up and it tows at an angle. It really was designed to be towed by a mini!

Makes me think of snatch.... Not sure I can get a clip that won't be considered offensive to "caravan dwelling citizens"


Why the **** do I want a caravan that's got no ******* wheels?

[miniman86]

Awesome caravan mate! Take some pics of it behind the mini! Where'd u find it?

You need to see the rest of that Caravan Accident video, its actually quite funny. The lads who made it do loads of videos, like making the worlds longest bike


Or do this...

Ahh Colin Furze. He is a local plumber to me. Absolute lunatic. His world record bonfire lit up the nights sky for miles around! Filled it with a huge smoke plume too!
