1950's showmans waggon \ trailer.

Here's a vid of some mind boggling pictures of a 1950's Gypsy showmans waggon trailer that is now undergoing a full restoration.
tail lights are from a 1957 American Ford and I would personally date this van around this time. It is almost certainly a 'one off' special order by a very wealthy showman. The build quality is outstanding and obviously no expense was spared. Original fittings include the ' collaro' record deck ,Fridgidaire fridge, Flavel cooker and all light fittings and fixtures. Measuring 28' on four wheels.
