Airstream 684

It would appear that Airstream caravans are coming to the UK. They've been a symbol of wealth in the US for 75 years but now the company's expanding into Europe -- and the UK is first.

Airstream in the US rivets the distinctive aluminium bodies onto a Euro-spec chassis, and ships them over for localised interior fitting.

The twin-berth, 1,600kg 532 costs £34,880 and the 2,200kg 684 costs £41,780 for four-berths. And there's loads of options too.

So if, despite everything, your secret hankering is to tow the weight of another car and a half behind your Rangie, here's your chance to blow the cost of a Porsche Cayman S on a toy without an engine.
