This isn’t a post about the cabin but another way of getting away in the summer. I am a big fan of Bolers. My mother always thought it would be cool to get one which would allow us to get away on weekends. We never did get one but my fascination with them continued to this day. Of course being 6’4” tall means that myself and my brother would probably have to sleep outside but let’s not get reality get in the way of a cool idea.
I found this post about the Willerby Vogue, I was blown away by how cool it is.
This Willerby was built by Willerby Caravan Co Ltd in 1957. It’s length is 14' 7" and 6' 10" wide with a very Jordon unfriendly headroom of 6' 4". Willerby manufactured 115 of these trailers over 2 years and they didn’t sell well. Maybe they were ahead of their time because I think they would sell really well today.
Pete Jolly, found this 1957 Willerby by way of eBay and undertook it as a winter DIY project. It took Peter nine months to do a complete restoration of Willerby and the results are stunning.
You can check out the entire process at http://willerby.littleplumstead.com and see his numerous photos on Flickr.
