A late 1960’s rarity from Campingaz, here making use of its ground spike. Here, it’s base plate … … and here, with one of the column sections removed. The storage box illustrations demonstrate the options. A detail, a contemporary auto, a Fiat 1100 perhaps. Assembly schematic on the inside of the box lid. Components packed … … for transport, suitcase style. Lumogaz-pattern components. The sprung-loaded piston and control spindle O-ring seals had age hardened and were replaced. The ‘dome’ seal mating with the gas cartridge was in good condition. Designed to take either a C400 or two C200 pierceable gas cartridges. A well-made enamelled shade, white enamel on the underside.

It's most likely an Autobianchi Primula, manufactured from 1964 to 1970. Nice car! Nice lantern also, BTW!
@Martin K. You’ve surely nailed it with the identification of the car Martin. Thank you. Interesting reading up about it, a front-wheel-drive layout by the parent company Fiat without endangering their brand were it to fail, which it evidently didn’t.
@Jean J It’ll combine well, sixties-style, with this Primus butane stove. Newark and Ashover, I’ll be cutting quite a dash!
That's a belter, John! Also nice to see the rather unloved Primus 2222 in good hands and being used. I've got 1-2 of them around here but can't recall ever lighting it/them. We seem to have similar tastes when it comes to the weird stuff!!
