Title: Solved: Wendax 1538 - Paris-Beaune camping trailer for Cirque AMAR
Post by: Wendax on March 19, 2015, 03:38:23 AM
This puzzle is just about the coachwork, because I don't know anything about the tractor.

For one point, please respond and identify the coachbuilder and whom it was built for.

It seems to have been used by a circus. Is it a creation of Geo Ham and Di Rosa ?

It is a circus truck, but not by Geo Ham, Di Rosa, Charbonneaux or Antem.

Not classic, but not so obscure.  Is it specialized in trucks ?

No, built for a circus

- built for a circus
- not a classic coachbuilder at all
- not a manufacturer of commercial trailers
- not specialized in camping

Am I right ?
Title: Re: Wendax 1538
Post by: Wendax on April 06, 2015, 02:13:57 PM
No, you misunderstood the caravan part. It is mainly a maker of camping trailers, i.e. caravans.

Post by: Wendax on April 07, 2015, 03:37:38 AM
I don't have an exact year, but I think it was made in the 1950s.

Post by: oko94 on April 07, 2015, 03:43:16 AM
Was the caravan make still active after 1960 ?
Title: Re: Wendax 1538
Post by: Wendax on April 07, 2015, 04:18:26 AM
As far as I found out, by then the make was bought by another caravan producer.

Post by: Wendax on October 14, 2019, 05:39:33 PM
Just four and a half year gone and we already have the solution!
Yes, the trailer was built by Paris-Beaune for the AMAR circus. It was supposed to be the largest camping trailer in Europe.
Very well done!

Post by: gte4289 on October 14, 2019, 07:25:46 PM
I didn't see the hint in Reply #62 until today. I recognized it as a Europa by Mabille and went looking for a Mabille circus trailer. This eventually brought me around to finding the Paris-Beaune brochure, but I'm still not sure if the Europa is produced by Mabille under license from Paris-Beaune, or the other way around, or licensed by another entity, or something else entirely.

Anyway, thanks!
