Re: 1930 Eccles Model 16c Collapsible Caravan
Hi Bigbird,
I think the one you see on the Isle of Wight is a 1930 Shadow owned by Keith Laidlow. Do you have a picture? If so please send to george53@tiscali.co.uk and I'll send you one back. Many thanks!

Hi Matthew,
You can count us in the for the Saturday and Sunday. I plan to tow our old Portafold behind our 1958 Austin A35 Saloon. I hope to meet up with some fellow 'tubular' chassis owners and swap details.
Many thanks, George & Angela

It can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/52222710@N08/sets/ I will add photos as I can get work done. The roof has to come ...
