Wow, great story.
An other story came my way on Thursday at the school pick up. A lady I had not met before walked up and said "do you camp in her" refering to the Dormobile. Of course, was my reply. She asked where we had been and I pointed to the Zagora sticker on the back. Her reply was "I was there in 1974 in Dormobile exactly the same as this one and then we drove across the Sahara". She mentioned sneaking through borders, and Idi Amen, before having to head home because she became pregnant by immaculate conception. Her words not mine! She turned out to be the Grandma of one of Williams class mates and was going to go home to tell her husband she had just seen a Dormobile like theirs. She said she would dig out the photos.
Looking forward to hearing the whole story. I wonder if the vehicle still exsist?
