This luxury caravan is in the auction room car park along with a Scimitar. There's a sign in the Reliant windscreen but it's fallen over. I suspect neither are very nice inside...

That caravan has to be early 50s at a guess, it looks like the ones in my dad's practical woodworking magazines

Does that tell us if it is or isn't a Cosworth?
Either way I only added it to this thread as it seemed interesting

204bhp sounds about right for the Cosworth I think. I'm sure recall that they'll take a blower strapped on for about 350bhp with no injector or ECU tweaking needed too

Yep that's the right capacity, but way too dear in my opinion anyway. Could you see the price in the picture? If so I really really need to get my eyes tested again! Certainly interesting and you seldom see them these days.

It's on artillery wheels so something's pre war but no telling when the rest was hammered on. An old Dr Whites was found in the wardrobe so it should be possible to determine what period it's from.
