Dora Bryan's vintage camper

Been posted on here many times before but, its a charming motorhome.
Wasn't aware that it was Dora Bryan though.
 
Whoops - sorry about that guys.
I'll try to fins another one then.
 
I used to love seeing this van regularly
 
I really like that house car - it's got character. I like the idea of carrying a spare tyre, and not bothering with the wheel. I wonder how they inflated them once they had changed the tyre.

I think the spare tyre is already inflated and mounted on a rim, which in turn is held in place by the ring of clamping bolts you can see on the road wheels ?
 
I have never seen that before, wonderful, do you think they had more fun, do we expect so much more now, I didn't get to have a bath in my five birth 'just for me van'. Those where the days when I went from the Midlands to Scotland with my family for holls, no motorways, and my dads car pulling an old trailer with an army surplus bell tent in it. ??

My FIL used to serve Dora quite often in the main post Office in Brighton, he was the post master.
 
This is the iconic van film everyone remembers

Not sure but they look like bolt on rims,,ie spare is fitted with a rim which bolts on to the outer radius of the wheel.Fiat trucks had them up until the 80s,,BUSBY.
 
OK it's a fifth wheeler really, or is it a caravan :rofl: but it's cool all the same,

Dora Bryan was shown leaving a poticoed mansion.

At the time she was living in a terraced street in Kemptown, an area in East Brighton, a nice area but not porticoed.
 
How about this one in the Autoworld Museum, Brussels...40860005455_8e8b93e3ab_o.jpg
