Land Rover Dormobile

“The Wagon” was registered in February 1962 and is one of the earliest vehicles that Land Rover  authorised for Dormobile conversion by Martin Walters; the original Land Rover certificate has a notation of the Martin Walters build number.( See Dormobile Register ) There have been three previous owners and the vehicle’s paperwork shows the chain of ownership to myself in 2016.  The original buff logbook is present along with a number of letters, a fuel ration book and Dormobile instructions for operating the Dormatic seats and elevating roof. Internally the seats and fitting are all original and work as intended, there are two lap belts in the front and a curtain rail runs around the interior. The seats can be configured to make a seating/dining area, two single or a double bed and fold back to the side to create a large load space (the photographs show a wooden table but the original is back in place) In the roof space there are two pull out hammock beds.  There is a leisure battery in the passenger seat box that is powers three discreet usb sockets and internal lights and two gas canisters fit under the driver’s seat. The canopy is original and has a few pinholes but no structural damage. The original sink is in good condition and the cooker has two rings with a grill underneath. There is storage underneath the cooker unit and the centre seat box as well as the wardrobe. There is a hand throttle, swan-necked map light, overdrive, period reversing lights and ACE number plates, a bespoke roof rack shaped to fit the spare wheel; and there’s also a warning light if you drive off with the roof elevated. There is about a metre of elephant hide material for any repairs down the line (from Under Cover Covers) and a set of period tinted sun visors (not fitted). Externally the paintwork is original but the wheels have been powder-coated and I have fitted Rocky Mountain door tops. Work has been completed to replace both ‘C’ pillars, the radiator bottom has a ‘Welding Wood’ replacement panel and the engine has a replacement unleaded head and SU carb with K & N filter fitted by the previous owner. BlackPaw 4×4 replaced the timing chain in 2020. Both the chassis and bulkhead are in very good condition, all PO’s and myself have kept the vehicle garaged. The current mileage is 117,670, I have added 25,000 during the past ten years of ownership, the engine runs quiet and smooth and the vehicle drive well, keeping up with motorway traffic and is a surprisingly usable motor caravan. I am keen for a new owner to appreciate the history and uniqueness of The Wagon, it is the only Series 2 Dormobile left that has not been altered or modernised and I welcome any serious enquiries and viewings. Thank you, Gordon

Summer Ready 1962 Land Rover Series II 88 SWB Canvas Top & Sides w/Galv Chassis 2.3

Amazing condition Series 2 in the SWB variant with a canvas top and sides with a FULL GALVANISED CHASSIS for superb peace of mind. SUMMER READY. No TAX or MOT needed and super cheap insurance (I pay one hundred a year). 2.25 Petrol with a manual gearbox, 4WD Transmission + full electric towbar. Everything in tip top condition, starts first time, drives like a dream. Stored under cover when not in use. Maintained by myself (ex Army mechanic) and a local specialist. Bought in 2023 for 3 years “Loo” has been a treasured member of the family. I have done extensive work on it including: – Replaced all shocks – Replaced all brake drums and shoes – Replaced the starter with a hi torque motor (original included) – Replaced all wheels with black rims and end caps – New exhaust in 2023 – 3 x front seat belts – Rear wheel carrier – Spare wheel included (I just don’t put on the bonnet) – Several full services As mentioned the engine is sweet and starts first time. The engine itself is a Series 3 unit from the 70’s and the gearbox is a box with full 4WD and a synchro on the 3rd and 4th gears. 1st and 2nd is double clutch territory. Summer ready, show ready and ride out ready – a fabulous car that is a shame to see leave our possession. Have always added a lead substitute to all tanks. I can take any buyer through what I would do next – for any LR there is always another job but you can drive Lou away with confidence that nothing to do until the winter.

Vehicule entered in production in the Solihull factory on 4th February 1977 and out on 4th March 1977. Delivered to the Luxemburg’s army in 1977, with registration n° 3708. This vehicule was part of the last 20 vehicules delivered to the Luxemburg’s army. Only 28 identical vehicules were produced in total (left-hand drive, winch, 24v). This vehicule was acquired during a collector’s succession, who acquired it directly from the Luxemburg’s Ministry. Never registered since. CONDITION Vehicule kept in perfect original state, a few repairs had to be done : New fuel tank Brake drums and pipeline ! Fuel pump New shock absorbers Front lights Perfect vehicule for a restauration true to the original, no irreversible modification. Works perfectly, it will only need some minor compliance works to drive again on the road.(new tyres, new canvas…)

Fairey overdrive Freewheel hubs New exhaust Hancook AT tyres New fuel tank & sender New complete wiring loom New ignition and distributor Bulkhead replaced New wipers! Chassis patched in places but solid Engine has been rebuilt and now starts on first turn. New brake shoes and new master and slave cylinders 2 spare cylinder heads and a variety of other bits I bought this car 18 months ago and have done a fair bit to get it running but there is still more to do: Clutch is making a noise that cannot be ignored… The interior needs a fair bit of attention I bought the car as a fun weekend machine for the family but have only really spent time replacing parts! I think it’s time to admit that I don’t have the time it needs.

All parts used are either OEM or NOS, many orders from PA Blanchards The car needs the brake lines, fuel lines and bodywork to be fitted. All the drivetrain has been overhauled by the book. The front axle has brand new swivel’s and a leather gaiters. All bearings and seals have been changed on every part of the drivetrain. Most of the parts were sandblasted and painted with red oxide then POR-15 black paint. The project has been going on since Jan-2024 and circumstances in my life have changed which means finances and time are not enough to finish the project in any meaningful time. I’ll include all the parts for the project I’ve collected and any spares for it too. Viewing is available. Given what’s being included and the quality of the work I’ve done so far I’m looking for £9000 but am happy to negotiate on price.

Series 2a

Landy which is 90% restored, fully roadworthy and would make a simple project to finish. The vehicle stood in a yard for many years in the open at the initial end of its service life. The owner always intended to rebuild it. He subcontracted the chassis replacement and engine change and has worked on the interior and exterior himself. Sadly he passed away recently but the car is a gem and deserves the final touches being completed in the hands of an enthusiast.  Selling by the widow.  Price ONO 07879893890 01252871468
