Hi all. Spotted this amazing looking caravan (I assume that is all it can be) rotting away when out walking with my dogs at the weekend. Any ideas? I've never seen anything like this before.

Looks like an abandoned film prop.

First thing I thought was Space 1999.

That may be the case but it would make an amazing caravan

Would be my guess as well.

Likely converted from an old Airstream caravan would be my guess......

Think there was something like this on American Pickers recently. It was an streamlined custom motorhome that was made in very limited numbers.

Mystery solved. It is a film prop from a short series in 1996 called Cold Lazarus by Dennis Potter.

Old movie props from 1996. Amazing how things just get left to rot though.

Sure it's high end enough? Maybe add a crocodile skin floor?
