Not a Car

These are not cars, but they are beautiful, as horse-drawn wooden gypsy wagons tend to be. Their modern equivalent (a pimped Ford Transit, Range Rover or Mercedes-Benz with a private registration plate pulling a double axle caravan with a satellite dish on the roof) somehow aren’t quite as romantic…

We’ll stick with these then, which we do occasionally still see in TLCB’s home nation, built beautifully in brick form by Master MOCer Andrea Lattanzio aka Norton74. Wonderful attention to detail is weaved throughout the build and there’s loads more to see at Andrea’s photostream via the link above.

Lego Gypsy Wagons

Most of the gypsy/traveller vehicles that we see near TLCB Towers are not like these. New Toyota Hilux and Range Rovers with private number plates seem to be the preferred choice at the moment, but very occasionally we do see travelling done the traditional way.

These beautiful Polish gypsy wagons by Flickr’s Karwik remind us of a time when there was only one horse power available up front. Click here to go travelling.
