G’day Jeremy

Overall condition is pretty good but there is quite a bit of unsympathetic welding on the chassis with complete substitution of the rear cross-member with a bit of chequerplate. A bit of rust-through in the front footwells but not too serious. The rear door Pillar (“C” pillar?) is fractured on both sides near the base angle and will need to be repaired.

I can fabricate any of the interior bits I need if I go that route and have recently completed restoration of a 1948 Series 1 from basket case status. But this will not happen with the Dormobile as I am of the same view regarding retaining the patina of old vehicles and will only fix the mechanical bits for safe use.
Cheers, Ian.
