Weirdest Campervans

[Lambeth Cali]

We went for a hike on Headley Heath near Guildford on Sunday and I was in awe when we came across this. It’s almost part camper, part spaceship, I thought. I guess from the markings it might have been a racing crew‘s vehicle.

Wow, that's a camper only a mother could love.

John Player sponsored Norton in the TT, I think, in the 1970s so the van has probably some great stories to tell.

[EDIT] Yep, just checked and Peter Williams won the '73 F750 TT class on a JP-sponsored Norton that he had himself designed. Great days. And this looks like that van in the background...

Is that on a Bedford base vehicle or a ford? A winter project for someone !

Camper vans are in short supply right now ...

to get a pic as i was exiting.
Its a Marchi mobile.

Ever heard of a Rectrans Discoverer? This 25-foot Class A motorhome was designed by the same guy responsible for the Boss 302, C2 Corvette, and more!

We also saw it at Chérizet last year, it was also at the Bugaloo event in Italy last year in May, seem to get around to quite a few events.

I wonder what he would say about the price
of a new T6.1 ?

yes, he is Swiss and gave a whole explanation and demonstration of his bus and all the features: very special to see.
