1964 Land Rover Series IIa - Martin Walter Dormobile Conversion
Fully Restored | Rare Expedition Camper | Extensively Upgraded
Offered for sale is an exceptionally rare and beautifully restored
1964 Land Rover Series IIa Dormobile, converted by the renowned
Martin Walter coachbuilders - one of the most sought-after
expedition configurations ever produced. Combining vintage
character with thoughtful modern upgrades, this example is equally
suited for collectors, overland enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a
truly unique classic.
This Dormobile underwent a comprehensive frame-up restoration in
2004, including the installation of a new galvanized chassis. The
restoration is fully documented, and the vehicle is accompanied by
certification from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust,
confirming its authenticity and provenance.
Power comes from a highly desirable 2.8 ACR Power Plus engine
equipped with Stage 2 cylinder heads and a performance carburetor,
delivering significantly improved drivability and power over the
original configuration. Supporting upgrades include a custom
radiator with electric fan, gearbox oil cooler, and Roverdrive
overdrive unit, making this truck far more capable and comfortable
at modern road speeds.
The drivetrain has been further enhanced with a Salisbury axle and
Dana rear end, paired with Pro Comp shocks and Ground Hog parabolic
comfort springs, providing a refined ride quality without
sacrificing the rugged capability Land Rovers are known for.
Inside, the Dormobile conversion transforms this Series IIa into a
functional and charming overland camper. Features include:
• Twin bunk beds and twin folding seat/beds (sleeps four
comfortably)
• Integrated propane cooktop
• Sink with onboard water system
• Ample interior storage and clever space utilization
Additional equipment includes Smiths gauges and clock, 12V
electrical system with solenoid, side steps, and a removable custom
roof rack-perfect for extended travel or display.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a properly restored and
thoughtfully upgraded Dormobile-vehicles that seldom come to market
in this condition and specification. It represents a unique blend
of vintage British craftsmanship, expedition heritage, and
practical usability.
