Vintage Trailer Lodging | Jurassic Airstreams

This vintage 1946 Spartan Manor has lovingly undergone a full interior restoration including newly insulated walls and a beautiful black charred wood floor throughout. The bedroom/lounge dinner has been designed to give this Spartan Trailer a multi use appeal meaning you could turn it in to a Cocktail bar, VIP lounge, food dinner or other inspiring space. It also features a 38" Smart TV. The bedroom walls have been made up of bespoke aluminium tiles which brings the outside look indoors.

The kitchen has been created to give more space but most of all not look like a kitchen.It includes a large fridge freezer, airfryer, loads of cupboard space and 26" TV mounted in the cupboard which angles to the living room and the window for outside viewing. Flowing from the roof past the stylish aluminum sink in to a comfy chair complimented by a huge Timothy Oulton Aviator aluminium cuboard

As the recreational trailer market took off after World War II, many companies chose to abandon their previous endeavors to jump on the camper bandwagon. Spartan Aircraft was one of them. Led by wealthy industrialist J. Paul Getty, it morphed into the Spartan Trailer Company and started making trailers in 1945.

Unlike most trailer businesses of the era, Spartan focused on lavish features and created some of the most exquisite campers out there. Often referred to as the Cadillac of trailers, the Spartan was also quite expensive, costing more than $4,000 a pop. At a time when an average home cost about $8,000!

Even so, Spartan sold over 40,000 trailer homes until the company was dissolved in 1961. Come 2024 and these trailers are quite rare,

This particular very early example was previously owned by Roger Daltrey, lead singer of the British rock group ‘The Who’ as his tour trailer throughout the late 90s and early 2000s.

Chris Evan’s has also booked this trailer for the past eleven years staying in it him self at his annual ‘car fest’ event.
