Dormobile for sale

[AlexB]

Now then
The time has just about arrived to put the for sale sticker on the Pastel Dormobile, replacement (refurbished) gearbox now in, overdrive refitted, seat box in position. Just bolting up and finsihing off the curtains and it is done.

So, it is off to the Land Rover Centre for them to sell.
I don't have the room - projects are queuing up.

I suspect that LRC will have a price tag of a smidgeon under £20k. FOr that, the new owner will get a new MOT and warranty , whereas I could be tempted to part with it for £15k as it stands.

1963 Land Rover 109 Martin Walter converted Dormobile Reg No YSY331

I drove it down to Dormobile and back (500 miles) where I noticed that it jumped out of third and fourth, hence the replacement refurbished gearbox.

That sounds lovely Alex.
Will you be showing it off at Brass Monkeys this weekend?

[AlexB]

never gave it a thought to be honest !

Still got floors to put in

Sounds like another successful restoration Alex

Good price too for a full restoration with many new parts, especially for the non-dealer sale

Cheers,
Robin.

Well done that man.

I know whoever buys that one will have a brilliant classic landy for years to come to go on adventures.

Hope it goes to somebody who uses it rather than parks it up and just looks at it. But each to their own I guess.

Looks very nice

Apologies for not responding Stefan.
This retirement lark doesn't allow time for anything anymore !


Well, YSY was driven off into the hills this morning by her new owner. I won't give the game away as to who it is but you will def see the Dormobile at Leafers in a couple of months

I must admit, I am quite proud of the finished effort.

Only two current projects now; my 1959 88 which is reasonably close to finishing (only a few months off perhaps) and the very rare 3 door Dormobile I am doing for Mike Street - the owner of Dormobile UK as a "patina restoration" . That is a long way off !!
