By Tom1 in General 970 views 7th Feb, 2021 Video Duration: 00:02:40
Emsworth, Hampshire.



M/S of a woman sitting a little girl into sidecar attached to lambretta then taking a suitcase and strapping it at the back of the motorbike. Cut to M/S of a man pulling a caravan with a little boat on top, out of garage. C/U shot of man's hands attaching caravan to lambretta. Man and woman, both wearing safety helmets, get on the motorcycle and family drives off.



This is not a regular size caravan but one that is twice smaller and, as voiceover informs, can be unfolded when needed. It is built in Emsworth, Hampshire, it is simple to unfold and very comfortable.



M/S of a family driving. It seems a miracle that sidecar, caravan and boat, all attached to little lambretta, manage to move, but there seem to be no problems at all. C/U shot of couple's heads as they drive. Woman looks back. C/U shot of a little red boat on top of the caravan. High angle shot of the little girl sitting in the sidecar looking up. M/S of lambretta stopping at the beach.



M/S of a couple taking the boat off the caravan. Several shots of the couple unfolding the caravan. They lift the top, unfold the sides, and make a little room which, according to voiceover, "...provides comfortable accommodation for two adults and a child." Child is sitting in the sidecar, watching the parents work.



M/S of the woman lifting the girl outside the car. Girl runs off towards the sea while mother starts to make beds.
