A group of 'travellers' moved onto a town council-owned field in south Wellington, approximately 130 yards from Wellesley Park Primary School, on Sunday (May 17).

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. The project cost £25,000 (over €700,000 in today's money). DVLA records show the motorhome was scrapped decades ago; the Mini's last registration was in 1985.
