The elephant's gone, but the cage remains. Every part in these pictures is from a different auction, the trailer came first, in a mixed lot and with no tyres. Then I got a dog of a red land Rover with the Chipperfields blue tilt on the back. This is it's third or fourth land Rover and this one is so nice there is no need to change it, it is very nearly mint.
Next was the instructions, genuine and original - only cost 50p. Last to come was the cage and these are rare. They only cost half a crown new and then they had to be put together properly. On top of that the survival rate must have been small. step on one of these and they are gone. Which is why they cost a lot of money. Now I need an elephant, and a hook for the top of the cage so the crane can lift it on and off the trailer.
The trailer is tatty and the stickers on the cage have gone and the ones on the Land Rover could do with replacing, however a nice one of these with all the bits is big money.
One thing that surprised me though once I'd got all the bits together was that the cage does not really fit that well on the trailer, not compared to the cargoes which fit exactly.
