Keith's Teardrop Dream

Keith is not a "sit on your hands and wait for time to pass you by" type of guy.  At 73, he was looking for a project that would not only keep him busy, but would get him out and about with the minimum of fuss, but in a little comfort.  Having built his own caravan, he was not intimidated by the thought of building a little teardrop.

The Design

Keith had seen teardrops when they were first popular in the 40's, but didn't realise they were making such a comeback until he started on his own design.  He worked on his plans and came up with his unique "Marsupial Mouse".

The Construction

We helped Keith out with parts and the metal work, including building him a chassis and bumper as per his well drawn plans, but he was one of the quickest home builders to get stuck in to the construction and finish off his body work.  And a lovely job he has done of it too.

The Reality

The final product looks pretty darn close to the dream, driving off into the sunset and all!

I find Keith a true inspiration and hope that he has a ball in his Marsupial Mouse.
