Scaling the mountainside was no easy feat for the Ford 12 M. However, in tandem with the Sportberger L3, the vehicle always went the extra mile to afford the family a restful vacation - from the North Sea to Lake Garda. Fittingly labelled “the egg” by the people at the time, the camper epitomises the modesty of the era, a time when new experiences mattered more than comfort and convenience. And, seeing as the bicolour design of tractive unit and caravan created a perfect harmony of colours, the driver of the Ford was sure to turn heads at the side of the road.
