1966 motorhome with Mini garage and recording studio

In 1966, British coachbuilder Harold Radford Coachbuilders built the Transcontinental Carabus Mk2 motorhome for steel magnate Philip Lee, based on an AEC Reliance bus. The 11-metre vehicle featured a hydraulic lift for a Mini Cooper S, a recording studio, two toilets, a roof-access lift, and a kitchen with a dishwasher.
