Link not working :shrug:

However, I did a search and found this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Land-Rover-1 ... 1c2465aa21

Is that the one?

Sorry, but I know very little about Dormobiles, but there are 'experts' on here who might know, or at least know how to find out.

I know there were Military Carawagons, often 'command post' types of vehicles, with a single bed and a map table.

Cheers,
Robin.

HI Jerry

Don't think that roof was fitted whilst in service. Would you want to be in a combat zone in a vehicle with brilliant white roof?

I'm not sure the military plate matches the bodywork, but that is not uncommon in military vehicles. Many early Land Rovers were pretty smashed up in service and were rebuilt with later parts.
