The Appeal

The History and Paperwork

• Starting life stateside there is a nice level of documentation of its previous life
• The last known location in the USA was Maryland
• We know this thanks to an original title still being present in the paperwork 
• Along with an old title, there are also a lot of old leaflets and pamphlets 
• There is also a nice large file of old photos 
• These photos show what the interior was once like 
• This makes it easier to see the full interior overhaul that it has had
• It leaves the USA for the UK in 2008 and has since experienced three loving owners 
• Now finished in this glorious tribute livery this never fails to turn a few heads 
• There are a lot of invoices present too
• Within these invoices, you’ll find a large bill from 2016 which indicates a gearbox repair 
• At just under £2,500 this was an extensive repair and should now perform excellently out on the road 
• After 2016 it sits idle for a few years until it was found a few months ago 
• Some slight recommissioning was required to get it running and onto the low-loader to transport it to where it sits today 
• Time to pack your bags and climb aboard 

The Interior

• Upon opening the side door, you are presented with a very spacious and thought out interior 
• Climbing in you are presented with several specific living and driving compartments 
• Let’s start with the driver’s section on the right-hand side of you as you enter 
• Fitted with two large captain-style seats you will be travelling down the road in great comfort 
• The driver’s seat is in excellent condition this condition is then matched by the passenger seats
• It would appear that the passenger seat will swivel round on its base to allow for extra seating when parked up 
• Between the seats is where you’ll find the 6.7l V8 engine
• This section is carpeted in a way that you’d expect to find in an actual house 
• Moving slightly behind we enter the living compartment 
• The floor is finished with a nice laminate effect vinyl
• Just behind the driver’s seat are two seating areas 
• The long sofa is in lovely condition 
• This section will turn into a bunk bed within a few seconds 
• Hooking into two anchor points in the roof this feels solid and a fun section for the kids 
• Just opposite this are two seats that face each other 
• An area for socialising or even dinner these seats will also create an extra bed 
• Easily folding together, they make a space large enough for a comfortable night’s sleep 
• Travelling further back from the front area we move into the kitchen area 
• Equipped with a large worktop and lots of cupboards this is all you could need from a kitchen on wheels 
• You’ll also find a functioning sink, a 3-burner gas hob, and a small oven
• If you’re standing facing the sink just behind is the bathroom area 
• Within this area, you’ll find a nice sized shower and sink combo along with a toilet 
• Coming out of the toilet and travelling right to the back you’ll find the larger bed section 
• This should provide you with an excellent night’s sleep wherever you should wish to stop and camp
• Throughout the cabin, there are a lot of lights dotted about
• Providing a nice warm white glow this interior will be cosy in the evening 
• All running off of the leisure battery they are a nice addition 
• It’s not only lighting that is found throughout, but there are also two large air conditioning units in the roof 
• These are said to work as they should, but have not been tested 
• This is also the same for everything else throughout the interior, we are informed by the previous owner that everything works as it should 
• You will have a lot of fun inside this rare motorhome 
• With a well thought out interior, it does not feel small inside, there is more than enough space to get comfortable and enjoy yourself

The Exterior 

• Well, isn’t this an eye-catching motor vehicle 
• Finished in a lovely Lotus F1 tribute livery there is no way you’ll go un-noticed 
• The fibreglass body appears to be in great shape 
• You may notice a few areas of cracking on the green sticker section 
• With a larger flaking section to be found along the driver’s side 
• Adorn with a lot of chrome this is, on the whole, in good condition 
• There are a few areas on the front and rear bumpers which will require some work if you wish to return it to its former glory 
• All of the hubcaps are present on all four of the wheels 
• There is also a spare wheel holder on the rear of the rear section 
• Along with the spare wheel, there is also a nice full-size ladder 
• This should allow access to the small roof rack area 
• Down the offside at the top, there is a large awning fitted 
• This wasn’t taken out, but it does seem relatively new from the outer casing 
• The underside looks to be nice and solid as well from a quick inspection 
• There are also a few exterior storage areas and plugins 
• You can have a lot of fun working through all of these hidden locations 
• Be in no doubt, you will be the talk of the campsite when you pull up in this 

The Mechanics 

• A true American brute there is something truly star-spangled banner about what’s under the body 
• Nestled between the driver and front passenger is a nice big V8
• At 6.7 litres it has more than enough grunt to pull you down the road 
• Attached to an automatic gearbox it should cruise down the road effortlessly 
• It must be mentioned again that this gearbox was subject to a repair in 2016 
• Since the repair, it hasn’t completed many miles so it should still be in good shape
• This Travco was started and driven onto the low-loader 
• And was then reversed down the current custodian’s road 
• Since then, it has been sitting waiting for you to come along and take it away
• It does require some bleeding work to the brakes 
• With some slight work carried out, this will be an excellent and quirky vehicle
