Just about ready - presque pret!

Known leaks down to an acceptable level, 500 miles under our belt since back on the road. Ferry on Saturday!

Looking good Alex... Do I see a second spice rack above the rear seat?

Hope you have a tremendous time in France... :nana1:

Alex... That grab rail in front of the windscreen, was that an original option on the dormobile or is it fabricated to your own idea? Looks superb, probably also handy to tuck the curtains behind when in sleeping mode...

Nice work Alex. The interior and exterior both look very smart. Have a great trip and here's hoping a trouble free trip to boot. Trip report when you get back please!

Good luck on your trip.
I too have a C reg Dormobile, yours looks (almost) like it just arrived from Dormobile!
Mine has done 30 years with me, 10 trips to Italy to take part in Italian Land Rover Club off road rallies (and won the first three!), followed by 18 years as my mobile workshop working as mechanic to farmers in the Yorkshire Dales, and now sitting in the garage having a new 200Tdi and 5 speed plus high ratio diffs fitted.
I am wondering if I will be able to get a gravesite big and deep enough to take it with me!
The joys of Land Rovering.
