Re: Portafold for Sale
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...

Free (almost) Forest of Dean place to camp
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...

Re: Looking for a Mini-Motel
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...

Re: Rare Mini-Motel on eBay
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 ...

Re: Paint
I've found the pictures I took when I stripped the Daytona yellow paint off the bottom part of my Portafold, Easter weekend 2006. Since these were taken a lot of T-Cut and polish has been used to get it back to the original cream gel coat, but it was well worth it. 140406_01.jpg Nice and bright yell...

Re: Booking in to campsites!
folding camper?
trailer tent?
I tell them it's a folding caravan, but to be honest they don't need to know it folds down. As far as they're concerned it's a caravan.

Re: Serial Numbers
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...
