shows where her rockabilly styling,
cheeky personality and retro-styled
service-with-a-smile ways mean she fits
right in!
“This is not your typical mobile coffee
van”, say Amanda about her “Lady Luck’s
Beanshine” business. “This is a sleek and
ultra cool teardrop custom designed by
me! I have yet to see a mobile coffee van
as kool as mine”, she adds.
And she may well be right. The
combination of the striking black duo
certainly scores highly in the “Check that
out!” factor. It most certainly wins points
for its small size; bringing a whole new
meaning to the term “micro business”.
Amanda told us that her teardrop camper
was designed so she could sleep in it
ready to sell coffees at the event location
for early morning swap meets.
“It’s decked out with a dual fuel coffee
machine (gas and battery powered, so no
noisy generators!), electric grinder and
of course all the tasty syrups and milk to
suit all dietary requirements. AND to top
it off, the teardrop is towed behind its
stunning black 66 Mustang. Tell me that’s
not better than a boring old coffee van?”
Lady Luck’s is proving popular with the
attendees at the car shows, having turned
heads at the Fine Iron Car Club & Custom
show, the Eliminators Hot Rod Show,
the All American Car Show, the Vintage
Speedcar Association morning tea,
Chrome & Clutter, Bimonthly Webby’s
Old Skool Cruiz’s, 4x4 Show & Swap, and
so many more since it made its debut.
She also has attended school fetes and
been used as a stunning foreground prop
