      Ive found her, its taken since 1987 but we have her back.
      This 1962 Land Rover has been missing since my grandparents died in 87.. Original number 888 NJO (some of you might of seen my inquirys about this)

      The car is no to undergo a full rebuild, Chassis arrives this week.
      Many Dormobile parts missing so will be speaking to some of very soon, Roof and cupboards etc etc…

      Just a quick update to say that my long search is now over !
      many thanks

              Hi Jim

              You must be a mate of Paul? Is this the Dormobile he had in bits? Always wondered what happened to that one?

              Let me know what bits you needs as I am on with another batch of roof racks at present. Also making copies of the original jerry can holders used on 1960’s Land Rovers and Carawagon jerry can holders.

              Good luck with the restoration and if you needs any advice, just ask.

              Cheers Mick

                Hi Mick, yes i am a friend of Pauls. Are you still in contact with him, ?
                That green Dormobile station wagon was mine. I ended up braking it… The parts were all sold off.. my friend Romany Rose from the S11 club forum has the roof, but i dont think i can really ask for it back !

                The land rover part of the rebuild is easy for me, its what i do for a living !
                But i am in need of everything that you cannot see in the pictures ! i.e. most the dormobile bits. I have a man who will cover the seats, but need all the dormobile fixtures & fittings… I will be interested in a roof rack when i get a original roof fitted ! im currently thinking of using my brownchurch rack and myway roof tent…

                Any help greatly received…

                We will have to meet !
