YTB 567L - Land Rover Series III 109"

DORMOBILE

2.6 - 6cyl - petrol

1 owner - 20,250 genuine miles from new

One of the most rare Land Rover options ever available, and to find a one owner example, with such low mileage and in such original and unspoilt condition is one our best ever discoveries.

Purchased from the original owner, this Land Rover has just been brought out of 5 years dry storage, and is currently being recomissioned in our workshops.

Enthusiasts who follow our site will know that we have a great knack of unearthing these treasures, and this one will not dissapoint.

Based on the 5 door station wagon, this Land Rover would have gone from the factory, direct to Dormobile for the conversion.

Features include the elevating roof, with 2 x single bunk beds, the 5 seats will convert to either a double bed or two singles. In the rear is a wash basin and 2 gas ring cooker, plus wardrobe and water storage facilities.

As well as all the original Dormobile features, this Land Rover is also fitted with a period radio and seperate cassette player to complete the 70's feel.

As if all that was not enough, all the original paperwork accompanies the vehicle, including original sales brochure (a rare item on its own), Dormobile instruction booklet (explains the operation of all the roof, seats, bunk beds, cooker etc.), original purchase invoice, original suppliers brochure (showing the other "camper" options available at the time), original owners handbook, original "Passport to service", and of course the original and up to date V5 registration documents.

This Land Rover really is ready for anything, either a practical camper, or a unique show vehicle - the choicie is yours !

The term "time warp" is often over used, but I think on this occasion it is the only way to describe this great survivor.

This vehicle has just been featured in May 2008 Land Rover Monthly - thanks to the magazine and Les Roberts.

If you have an interest in this unique Land Rover, contact us now, as this is one of the most exciting finds I have seen in my 18 years here at Land Rover Centre

TXC 300M - Land Rover Series III 109"

DORMOBILE

2.6 - 6cyl - petrol

2 owner -14,550 genuine miles from new

REBUILT ONTO GALVANISED CHASSIS

This vehicle was dispatched from Land Rover August 1973, and delivered to Martin Walter Limited (for Dormobile conversion). It was then returned to Land Rover, registered and issued the registration number TXC 300M, before being delivered as a personal export vehicle to Sir Edward Peck in Belgium on 30th April 1974. Sir Edward Peck was at the time, the permenant British Representative to the North Atlantic Council.

On his retirement, February 1976, Sir Edward Peck returned to the UK, and the vehicle was re-issued it's original number TXC 300M.

Sir Edward Peck owned the vehicle for over 20 years, before passing it on to the second owner in 1995. There is a huge history file with this Land Rover, including correspondace between the 2 owners negotiating the sale and purchase of the vehicle, plus the original sales invoice when new.

Although with such low mileage the vehicle was mechanically sound, the new owner had the body rebuilt onto a new galvanised chassis, and there is a photographic record of the ground up restoration.

All in all this is another rare vehicle with the benefit of a galvanised chassis, low mileage and with excellent provenance - which will give many many more years of service.

Would suit and enthusiast collector, weekend camper or suitable for an overland trip

Land Rover fans amoung you will have no doubt been following the restoration of this particular vehicle, which has been carried out by Lindsay Porter, in conjunction with Land Rover Monthly magazine, and Britpart.

31,112 genuine miles from new ! ! ! (only 3000 miles in the last 20 years !)

For the first 4 years of its life, it was stored at Aschurch as a war reserve vehicle, and was not dispatched to its first unit - 19 Tank Transporter Squadron, Royal Corps of Transport (Bulford), until March 1973.

One of only 1893 RHD series IIA Lightweights manufactured from 1968 to 1972, this particular example is on of the early ones, and has been the subject of a 4 year ground up restoration, and is finished in the livery and insignia of 19 Tank Transporter Squadron.

Its likely role would have been as an officer's vehicle and would have been used to accompany tank transporter convoys.

This particular vehicle was disposed of into the civilian world via Ruddington January 1978.

Few lightweights survive in good condition, and even fewer Series IIA variants.

This Land Rover has been enthusiast owned, and has appeared at Duxford (2006), as well having the honour of being one of only 9 Land Rovers (and the only lightweight) to be invited to Buckinham Palace 28th June 2007 - to celebrate 100 years of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY).
