Land Rover Series III Dormobile
Reg. no. t. b. c.
Chassis no. Unknown
Engine no. Unknown
The Series III was the continuation of Land Rover’s ever popular all-terrain vehicle produced from 1971 – 1985. These 4x4s were offered in various guises based on the 88” and 109” chassis. This particular 109” has had the famous Dormobile conversion we believe carried out ‘in period’. There is a company that still today produce pop top camper conversions for the Land Rover market. The Dormobile converted SIII’s are both rare and sought after which means this Land Rover deserves a full restoration to achieve its proper value.
This vehicle was found as part of a house clearance in Bristol and has been sat on a driveway for some time. It has suffered damage from a fire some years ago hence the melted windscreen and battery. Whilst the Dormobile top, interior cabinets, engine and gearbox are present, the bulkhead is rotted, and it requires a new floor amongst other things. With the values of these vehicles increasing and the majority of parts to restore it readily available, this is one for an enthusiastic Land Rover restorer to undertake. It is offered with a V5C.
Estimate: £1, 000 – 1, 500
Listing amendment:
It was thought that a gearbox was mounted in the car but this is not the case. Just engine, axles, prop shafts and driveshafts are present.
