Do you know what kind of original badges the Ansfolds had?
Laura,
To be honest, I'm not sure if they had badges on them. I haven't seen any, yet...

That had crossed my mind actually. With the Portafolds any picture you see in any literature is nearly always the early type model, and usually all from the same photo shoot that featured Conrad Faulkner's Vauxhall Cresta. It's like they thought it wasn't worth taking any more pictures because the c...

They do mention in the video that it's built in Emsworth, Hampshire; which matches with one of the three(!) addresses that were on the Mini-Motel adverts. So that fact goes in the 'for' box when it comes to working out what caravan it is in the video. With all the design differences going into the '...

If it's hooked onto the tow hitch then it comes under your car insurance policy. But always good to check what cover is included in y...

Whilst I was at the Beaulieu 'Victory Wheelers Hot Rod and Custom Car weekend' yesterday there were a couple of Portafolds in the camping field. One of which was Brian's (BRI52) but I didn't get a chance to see who the other one belonged to. Anyone know who it was?

Monique is the owner of the one I already know about in the Netherlands. She's in Tilburg.
Is that where you got yours from?
