Nicely put together, no doubt. But 20K for a non-runner 101 petrol IMHO is a bit optimistic...

I agree, especially as the old straight six petrol engine was never the best of Land Rover engines. It was probably the original unit in this vehicle. Even if it had a diesel conversion it would still be a liitle steep as the lack of bidding suggests. Look at the bidding on the Iveco that Moodybloo's found on eBay at the moment for comparison:
eBay.co.uk: expedition overlander not unimog 4x4 motorhome (item 170127128283 end time 11-Jul-07 18:00:00 BST)
Yes, I spotted this one yesterday, Kevin! I now know of seven of the original eight British ambulances, only one left to trace. All but one now campers. I reckon this guy is a little optimistic too, this time with his 25mpg (especially on XCL's); I've never got close to that with my WM and I haven't got an enormous master bedroom over the cab! I'd like to know where he got the 4700kg MGW from? And I would especially like to know who his local Iveco dealer is if he can get military WM spares over the counter easily!!! But again it's a nicely built conversion.
We are taking 'Mavis' the Iveco 4x4 Offroad Camper to the War and Peace show at Beltring in Kent from 18 - 22 July. Ironically, after all these years of trying to make it less military-looking I am now trying to make it look like an ex-army truck again as they have accepted it as a exibitor's vehicle! As long as none of the die-hard military enthusiasts drag me over to the nearest wall and shoot me for 'ruining' a perfectly good vehicle..... Anyway, if anyone is going there do look us up and say hello.
