Chris Jones sends this nice holiday shot of his Grandparents before the war.
"They were keen caravaners and being motor dealers always chose a large tow car to take them on holiday from the available stock. I previously sent a photo of my Grandfather's brothers Thornycroft which was about the largest motorhome available before the war. Whilst the size of this car doesn't compare with this, it is a large vehicle. The question is, what is the tow car? "

Editor: first of all, the caravan looks very much like a mid twenties Eccles very similar to this example.  The big towing car...Sunbeam perhaps? Further we are interested how far and how quick the Eccles users were. What kind of cruising speed was realistic? And did they ever leave the British Isles? As usual we love to see your comments.
