On the busiest day of the season it’s always a pleasure to see this absolute time warp of a Volkswagen LT.
What a credit to the owner Neil who has maintained her to the highest standards over the last 16 years.
Absolute breathtaking condition but unfortunately not for sale!

1914 Ford Model T Motor Caravan

Considered the world's oldest surviving motorhome, this remarkable 1914 vehicle was built just before World War I for the Bentall family, prominent British department store founders. Based on a Ford Model T chassis that was extended and strengthened by Baico, the caravan body was expertly constructed by Dunton of Reading, a company respected for their traditional travellers' caravans. The interior features polished pine floors, green velvet curtains, and a deep-buttoned leather bench that doubles as both driver's seat and living area seating.

Unlike modern motorhomes, this century-old Ford lacks amenities like a bathroom or running water, but compensates with four sleeping berths, generous storage, and a wood-burning stove for cooking and heating. After being abandoned and rediscovered in the 1970s, the vehicle was magnificently restored, winning numerous awards including the Concours at the 1976 HCVC London-Brighton Run. What makes this vehicle particularly interesting is that it didn't prioritize lightweight construction like modern RVs - instead featuring substantial house-like furnishings including wooden bookshelves, a wardrobe, and full-sized furniture.
