French Roulotte

This famous Roulotte was completely rebuilt a few years ago to the highest of standards. This includes the instalment of aged wood, centenary oak for the structure and beautiful walnut for the furniture and interior doors.

It is fully equipt with plumbing, electricity and heating, providing excellent shower and wash facilities, lighting and heating throughout.

The water heater and electricity box are cleverly installed in the luggage compartment under the roulotte to allow for maximum space inside. This also allows easy access to all amenities.

The Roulotte is a wonderful space for a number of occasions, such as a study, studio, guest suite, play room, home, meditation area or just a simple get away. The moment you enter the door you feel as though you're in another, wonderfully comforting universe.

A rare opportunity to acquire an original Watson and Belper wagon dating back to circa 1900.

We've owned this for around 5 years, having bought it at auction from the National Trust. It's fully fitted internally and has a mock stove with period tiling around it. The interior is wood-grained paint finished with the lantern top flooding the living space with light. To the rear is the sleeping cabin with storage below the bed. Externally the wagon has wooden wheels with iron tyres, a pan box with sliding doors, and leaf springs.

Large bowtop wagon for sale.  Built post War by Tommy Gaskin.

Shafts, pan box, brake and good quality wooden wheels on iron tyres.  The whole wagon has been renovated and painted to show condition.

The interior has an original Smith and Wellstood Queen Anne Stove, but very unusually this is a Queen No. 7 and is slightly larger that most Gypsy stoves.

The inside is grained in light oak and mahogany, and painted in the style of the builder (Tommy Gaskin).

The only other person to have a wagon like this is Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones.  Wagons like this do not come up for sale very often, and this is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Gypsy history.

Jesse Pollit Road-Rail Showman Living Van

Complete with original wooden wheels, restored and re-tyred. Currently fitted with ‘artillery’ pneumatic tyred wheels, for ease of travel. Both sets of wheels are easily fully interchangeable, and fit the same axles.

Wagon rebuilt from a wreck approximately 10 years ago, and dry stored ever since rebuilding. Traditional white lead and canvas roof/mollycroft. Comes with swinging showmans lamps, made by Hinks, centre draught, circular wicks, rare and in mint condition.

Little bit of finishing off required, interior practically finished, body needs a top coat and lining/
guilding. Lots of carvings on the body exterior. Very nice wagon.

Model Gypsy Dray

This is a hand-built model dray made from ramin and ash hardwoods. The dray bed is burgundy, and the unders are cream. It has a curved forecarriage and double bent shafts. All the metal work is polished brass. The dray is 15" long, 7 & half wide, and 6 & half high. The shafts are 12 inches long.

This has taken over a year to make, and my models don't come on the market very often. If you appreciate Gypsy drays, then you will be proud to own this one-off model. If you can find another, you will be very lucky.

Buyer must collect in person or arrange courier uplift and any courier payment, as you can understand this is a very delicate model and must be handled with great care.
