Description

HISTORIC ONE OF A KIND CAMPER

£2000 ono

This vehicle presents an awesome opportunity for a wonderful, unique and spacious camper.

Hi, this is a genuine sale from a genuine private seller.
I am 45 years old and used this vehicle mainly as a day van to travel around with my young son

Reason For Sale

I am too ill to do the work required and need the money from the sale

Recent History
Bought in 2021 and used as daily driver! Engine awesome and van reliable
Various work done including fitting of a new fuel injector (professionally), radiator and starter motor (me)
Last started 18 months ago when I identified starter Motor as a problem
Fitted new starter motor, but needed a new earth strap to earth it
Illness has prevented any further work being done
Features:
Two owners - Including London Borough of Sutton until 2011
Serviced to High Standard - It was in service as an ambulance until 2011
Reliable - I only had to call the AA once, and that was only because my battery connections had become loose!
Extra Long Wheelbase - Longest vehicle you can drive on a Post 1997 licence at around 21ft
Fibre Glass Body - so no rust issues on most bodywork ever!
"Pre-banana" Ford engine - which seems to have a very good reputation
Classic Vehicle status - In 4 years time it will be considered a classic and be MOT exempt
Service History - Comes with a packed folder of Service History
Dormobile - Genuine coach build by Dormobile
Spacious - Room inside for small single bunks, galley kitchen opposite and seat/single bed at back
High Ceiling - You can stand up inside if under 6ft and if over you can stand up in the unopened skylight!
Gas Oven and Hob - Connected to harness under the van with space for two bottles
Toilet Cubicle - Room for a plastic toilet etc
Grey Carpet - Nearly all the grey carpet is original and in good condition
Vehicle Secure - All doors lock

Hugely Enjoyable Vehicle
High Ride - the huge windscreen and windows in cab mean you have a wonderful view over hedges on country lanes
Unique - There are very few campers with so much space
Family vehicle - I planned to sleep my son on a top bunk, me on the bottom and Mum at the back
Retro Feel - I personally love the windows which slide to open and the retro feel of the van

Work Needed
Earth Strap - The new starter motor (see final photo) needed to be earthed from a larger bolt requiring a new strap
Ratchet & Pawl - This has slipped since garage adjustment and needs to be replaced

Please see MOT certificate for all other work needed

Earth Strap - I can send you a link to the earth strap you need

Solar Panels - I have solar panels which will fit, a really nice kitchen, a two way fridge and other items. If interested you may make me an offer upon collection

Starting - If you bring the earth strap, a charged battery and jump leads, I fully expect this van to start.

Transportation - There is plenty of room in the car park for a trailer/car transporter and I know a very reasonable man who transported the van back from the MOT test, who would give you a very good price

Further Information - There's lots more information I could provide. But if you are genuinely interested please contact me, and I will be completely honest with you.

Mileage - Unknown (I had to put a value in for Gumtree to post the ad)

Payment - A bank transfer upon collection is my preference

Thankyou for your interest
