Year: 1946Make: SpartanModel: ManorLength: 25ft HD VIDEO LINK: http://youtu.be/BrEz-fDPwpE !PRICED TO SELL! Spartan aficionados, feast your eyes on this new consignment arrival from AZ Vintage Trailers in Scottsdale, AZ! This 1946 Manor was one of the very first Manor's ever to roll off the production line at the Spartan Aircraft Company in Tulsa, OK. This is by far one of the most rare and celebrated Spartan's on the planet. To find one that has lived in the desert its entire life and in this state of preservation; it's next to impossible... This was factory ordered by its first owner(s) through a local Arizona Spartan dealer. This unit was owned and used as a mobile art studio by the world renowned artist's Dee & Monte Flagg. The history on this trailer runs wild after priceless pieces of misplaced Flagg family art work was discovered inside this trailer, shortly after it was sold at an estate auction. http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/article_675c65bc-867b-52ac-ba8c-f01eb8fa51f0.html Ultimately the trailer was re-released by the conservation society in 2005 to a buyer with the desire to rebuild her to her former glory. This month he decided to again pass this legendary trailer on so someone who had the means and desire to take her through the restoration process. Everything has been removed from the interior down to the metal frame. She is now ready for your vision of the ultimate Spartan trailer! INCLUDED IN THE SALE:In preparation for transfer/delivery to its new owners home, we removed all the glass from the trailer and packed it up for its protection. The entire set of windows (with the exception of the plexi-glass front windows) and internal aluminum parts for framing the windows are included in the sale.

POTENTIAL USES ARE UNLIMITED.... SHIPPING:I can suggest several national & international shipping company's that I've personally used over the years to ship my trailers. They are both reputable company's that can either pull the trailer to its destination or haul it on a flatbed truck. INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP RATES:ROLO (Roll On Roll Off) rates out of Galveston, Texas to the European ports of: England, Germany and Italy will offer you the lowest steam ship rates out of the US (somewhere around $3,000 - $4,000 USD) depending on the date of the shipment. SHIPPING CONTAINERS:I'm pretty sure the trailer is too tall to fit inside a standard shipping container. However, if you removed the wheels and used automotive rolling jacks and created custom or modified jack stands; you might fit inside a shipping container that way. WIKIPEDIA SPARTAN HISTORY:"After the ebb of personal aviation and the increased competition in the aircraft business following World War II, owner J. Paul Getty and Spartan upper-management redirected production to focus on the rapidly rising demand for housing and leisure.[2] Using the same internally braced and space-saving monocoque design of the Spartan Executive 7W, the company produced its first all-metal trailer. The company followed previous design strategies, offering lavish and full-featured trailers. Through the 1940s and 1950s, Spartan produced what some[who?] referred to as the "Cadillac" of trailers..."(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartan_Aircraft_Company) Keywords: Spartan Manor, Spartan Mansion, Spartan Imperial, Spartan Spartanette, Airstream, Antique Travel Trailer, Vintage Trailer, Airstream, Aluminum
