Let not the archives of the French Car Forum be left untrawled...thought there was some Trivia lying in the dusty vaults on the "Pembleton"! (the video in the link explains the name of the car Pembleton derived from the first car built being put together with aluminium panels salvaged from a Pemberton Caravan!

That Pembleton looks like proper fun :D

Thought you said it was a 'Pemberton' at first Bobins :lol: In my world they make big, luxury static caravans and was surprised they'd branched out into cars... I regularly stay in one of Pemberton's finest and whilst it's fun it's not very fast or mobile :lol:

Another of similar ilk provided fodder for the Whatsthisthen? thread back in 2014!, identified as a Lomax
