This must have looked great in its day.

I was chatting to a fella not far from here (ish) and he's got one just like it that he restored, his was one of the pair used to carry cars rather than being used as a training/workshop vehicle. Nice Smile

Rick, did you follow the links at the bottom of the ebay listing? There is a guy in Norway trying to trace them all, I am sure he would be interested in the one local to you.

I love the picture of it with the BL slogans down the side and a choice selection of Landcrabs posing in front of it Very Happy

It would even make a superb motorhome.

Doesn't look too bad, and been on the road recently, needs a good wash though!

I will buy it if someone stores it for me! I have shaed space, but not the hight for that!

Soon jumped up nearer the end of the auction! sold for £5460 by close of play, will be a great thing when done.

Well that's much higher than I expected, at that price it will almost certainly be restored to original specification though Very Happy

I really fancy a motorhome in something like that!

I think that was probably a reasonable buy at that, given that the listing was updated with pics showing it running and after a wash. Had it been a transporter rather than workshop version I think it'd have gone a fair bit higher, although I'm sure it could be converted into a car carrier.

Not sure what this restored one went for, if it did indeed sell, but check out the estimate:
