1986 FORD TRANSIT MK2 DORMOBILE CAMPER CAMPERVAN M For Sale

MK2 Transit Camper

Here we have a very rare site on the UK's roads.

I bought this 6 months ago as a project, the chap I bought it off had owned it since 1994 he converted it him self and was his pride and joy, unfortunately he passed away in 2012, and the vehicle was left sat in a barn until 2017 when I managed to find it.

I put a new battery on it, and it fired up instantly.. I then drove it 5 miles in for an MOT, which unsurprisingly it failed on a few bits of welding, rear brakes and a few other minor issues.
(feel free to check online)
The diesel stop solenoid also gave up on the mot ramp
(now fixed)

The welding was at the front end, I had a new spring hanger fitted and a few other welding repairs done.
I also replaced the complete rear brakes, including drums, shoes and cylinders.

The camper was then MOT'd and that's as far as I've got.. I've driven it around for 100 or so miles.

Its drives like a 30 year old transit, but in my opinion it drives very well..
The engine is the original 2. 5 DI, only shows 48k on the clock, which I'm led to believe is genuine but I can't prove it.
There is of course no power steering, although I don't find the steering particularly heavy.
The gearbox is a 4 speed with overdrive unit, that works very well, overdrive clicks in and out instantly.
The clutch is good, as are the brakes and there's no undue noises.
Its no flying machine as I'm sure you can imagine, but will sit and cruise comfortable at 55/ 60 mph without an issue.. does slow down a bit on the hills.

Always starts instantly, even if left for a few weeks (always surprises me)
Does smoke when cold, nothing you wouldn't expect.

The body its self has areas of rust around, I had planned to replaced the side panels with alloy sheets.
There is a dent in the N/ S/ F wing, and surface rust to the bonnet edge.
Both the front sliding doors are fully functional but don't lock.
The rear can only be opened from the inside, due to the outer handle being broken.
The cab is completely original, including the seats, dash and Tommy 2 knob radio.
There is also the original step that folds out of the front passenger door for easy access

The camper conversation has been done very well, the seating area turns into a massive 6ft x 6ft double bed.
There is plenty of cupboard space up above the seating area and above the cab.
There is a toilet room with a portable toilet in.
There is also a fridge, 12v lighting oven, sink and hob!
It has an on board water tank, and blown air heating in the rear.

All of the above has not been tested or used for at least 5 years, so i'd strongly recommend a good service and check over before being used.
I have no idea how any of this works, but there's instruction manuals with it.

The interior will need a good clean, as I still haven't done this.. all I've basically done is go through the mechanics and make sure its safe and usable

The Camper has an MOT until October 2018

I have the full logbook in my name, however I have sent it to the dvla to change the type from ''van'' to ''motor caravan'' so this should be back with me any day.

This is an ideal classic camper project, which I am very reluctantly selling.. only due to the fact that I have a vintage tractor and this camper isn't powerful enough to tow it to shows, so I've had to upgrade.

So to sum up,
The van is perfectly drive able and usable as it is., however there is plenty of jobs to do if you so wish.

I'll add some more pictures over the next few days.

Any questions please phone
