EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1966, we are transported back to the bustling streets of London. Dominating the frame is a remarkable sight - a massive road cruiser with an unexpected surprise tucked inside. This extraordinary vehicle, known as a Carabus, stretches an impressive 36 feet in length, surpassing even the iconic London Transport single decker buses. What makes this spectacle truly unique is its ingenious design feature: parking space for a Mini car within its colossal frame. As if defying all logic, the smaller vehicle is effortlessly lifted into the Carabus by a hydraulically operated platform. It's as though two worlds collide - one representing grandeur and extravagance, while the other symbolizes practicality and efficiency. This image captures not only an incredible invention but also hints at endless possibilities for leisure and adventure on wheels. The Carabus becomes more than just transportation; it transforms into a mobile dwelling or holiday home on wheels – offering freedom to explore new horizons without sacrificing comfort. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at human creativity and innovation during that era of rapid technological advancements. This picture serves as a reminder of how our imagination knows no bounds when it comes to pushing boundaries in motor vehicle design.
