A little history
• As the recreational trailer market took off after World War II, many companies chose to abandon their previous endeavors builidng airplanes for the war to jump on the camper bandwagon. Spartan Aircraft was one of them. Led by wealthy industrialist J. Paul Getty, it morphed into the Spartan Trailer Company and started making trailers in 1946.
• Unlike most trailer businesses of the era, Spartan focused on lavish features and created some of the most exquisite campers out there. Often referred to as the Cadillac/Royles Royce of trailers, the Spartan was also quite expensive, costing more than $4,000 a pop. At a time when an average home cost about $8,000!
• Even so, Spartan sold over 40,000 trailer homes until the company was dissolved in 1961. Come 2026 and these trailers are quite rare,
• This particular very early example was previously owned by Roger Daltrey, lead singer of the British rock group ‘The Who’ as his tour trailer throughout the late 90s and early 2000s.
Chris Evans has also booked this trailer for the past eleven years, staying in it himself at his annual ‘car fest’ event.
