1965 Ford Thames 400E 15CWT Camper Van

Martin Walter Dormobile Camper Van .

The campervan was first registered 8th March 1965. It is now 61 years old and is both MOT and road tax exempt.

This was purchased by our late father around 5 years ago and whilst it was in a reasonable condition, he decided to have the exterior fully re-sprayed, with imperfections in the bodywork addressed before painting. Our dad retained the cream with a red flash has purchased.

The underside of the van is in fantastic, solid condition. The red/ white elevating roof

works well and is in reasonable condition. All the interior was re-trimmed in red with white piping on the seats and new cupboards were fitted at the rear. There is a double gas cooker and sink fitted with the water and gas supplies hidden under a floor hatch. The seats convert easily in to two beds and a further two hammocks can be found in the elevating roof when raised. The engine and gearbox have been fully rebuilt as Dad was not content with how it ran when purchased. New bushes in the gear linkeage and a recent radiator recore was completed shortly before Dad purchased it. The van now drives

really well and pull smoothly from the 1703cc straight engine and 4 speed gearbox. The mileage is showing around 85, 000 and whilst it can't be guaranteed it looks to be correct. It is the Delux model so comes with chrome bumpers and a roof rack above the cab.

Whilst the wiring is complete, it could do with some tidying and some final finishing touches inside but otherwise he’s in excellent condition all round.
