A blast from the past, the Portafold Folding Caravan original brochure. Henleycraft was originally formed to market and sell the Portafold, which was predominantly made from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) commonly known as Fibreglass in the 1960’s and 70’s. They are still popular today and can be seen in their masses at vintage vehicle shows throughout the country.

This mobility scooter by Batricar was made up from five GRP components consisting of a main floor pan and an additional option of a cab to shelter from inclement weather. Famously able to navigate the extremely steep hill in Clovelly, Devon. These were produced in three standard colours to a high gloss finish.

These striking signs were reproduced with a stunning bronze effect to replace the original bronze signs that were either vandalised or stolen to be sold as scrap metal. By making them from GRP they have no scrap value and therefore remain in place.
