One of the most famous early race car transporters.

"Famous" is very subjective and depends on one's exposures, country, toys etc
In my humble opinion the three most famous transporters are:
1......The Ecurie Ecosse one shown above in post #19. So many of us had the Corgi model when we were kids (wist I still had it)
Was my first exposure to racing. The beautifully restored model shown at events like Goodwood revival sets the memory going.

2......The Ferrari 3 car open transporters as shown above in post # 37. Here a model but much later than the Corgi and for serious collectors only. I don't think anyone had one as a toy. Were famous because seen carrying such beautiful cars in exotic locations.
I will post some photos later.

3......The Mercedes Renntransporter as shown above in post # 20. Described as "the fastest race car transporter in the world".
Made famous by its replica and the models of it. I will describe further in a separate post.

I believe the BRM transporter shown is very similar to those used by the English F1 teams of the time such as Cooper, Brabham, Lotus etc and is not "famous" by itself.
