As most of you know, I have a policy of not getting involved in the sale of Portafolds :silent: but I feel I should just mention that a lot of Portafolds (and more Ansfolds) do have a dip in their roofs. Mine has one and it's not affected its ability to keep the rain out. I have seen one somewhere w...

Peter Radley, fellow Portafold owner (forum name Peter Radley) would like to offer a basic camping facility of an area of grass (and a water tap) on his farm for any Portafold or Ansfold owners who are considering a camping trip to The Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. All he asks is a couple of poun...

I suspect it was a stunt, but a good one. Lambretta Concessionaires were pretty good at them in the 50s and 60s. But in any event these weren't meant to be towed by scooters but by a small car. Nic, fraid to say I've found some adverts for the Mini-Motels and they were advertised as: "Erected in se...

I've had another detailed look at the YouTube video and there are a few differences in the video compared with the pictures we've got of Mini-Motels that still exist today: Only one rear light on each side. Wheel arches are different. A frame is different size. The hinges on the side walls are in a ...

Just wait till me and Misty Meg turn up at the campsite down the road from the Goodwood circuit. Should be interesting to see their faces...

As for exporting; as far as I know they didn't export them but people have taken them abroad. Apart from yours I know of one in the Netherlands and one in Germany.

folding camper?

trailer tent?

My brain is telling me something like a Singer/Humber estate...

These are the estimates I have of how many Portafolds were produced in each year. Thanks to a 1968 model owned by Anthony (triumphtone) I've been able to revise my figures slightly. 1966 - Anywhere between 1 and 66 1967 - Anywhere between 44 and 130 1968 - Anywhere between 112 or 195 1969 - Anywhere...
