DISPLAY VEHICLES

If you are displaying your vehicle, why not join this gallery by sending us a photograph and we'll upload it for you?

To see if your pride 'n' joy qualifies simply email myself Tom McGuigan [Event Director] at 4x4trading@talk21.com so I can return a Display Vehicle Booking Form.

 

Here follows just a small sample of the vehicles that are either booked into the forthcoming event, or simply for your interest, have displayed their "pride 'n' joys" at previous shows in the Field of Dreams ® ...

The Beast: Purchased in 2020 with just 5,000 km on the clock, this Volvo 6x4 is a rarity in the UK.

 

 

Begining life in the Belgian Army, 'The Beast' was purchased by Jackie & Mark Lambert to tackle future travels overland to Mongolia.  Incidentally, Jackie is a renowned author of 'doggie' books ... including the "Adventure Caravanning with Dogs" series, "Year 1: Fur Babies in France - From Wage Slaves to Living the Dream", "Dog on the Rhine - From Rat Race to Road Trip", "Dogs 'n' Dracula - A Road Trip Through Romania", and "Pups on Piste - A Ski Season in Italy".

Pedro the Bug
Richard Dolloway's 2003 LWB Hi-Top Ford Transit.
Very standard on the outside, he has transformed the interior into something to be very proud of.
The use of colour and materials gives it a light and airy feel, it's a self-build masterclass!

 

What you can achieve during a pandemic ...

The Land Rover Discovery 300 Tdi of Roger Thorley and his son, residents of St Helens, Merseyside.

Whilst cutting out rust at the rear of a standard Disco 1, the decision was made to turn it into a 0ne-berth campervan.

 

 

Having recently retired, it'll be Roger's full time 'home from home' as he goes travelling.

 

 

The exterior is based on the hordings surrounding St Pancras Station during its rebuild.

Congrats, a great result the pair of you.

Based on your design, expect to see a few more conversions like yours on the road before too long!

Now THAT's a kitchen. The entire living space is an interior designer's dream!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Virtually unique in the UK, this rarity is Piers Bryant's ex Australian Army Perentie 6x6. Based on a Land Rover Defender it was converted in Oz by JRA Limited. Not only does it feature a galvanised chassis, it also boasts a powerful 3.9 litre turbo diesel Isuzu engine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Mercedes Vario is a good base vehicle, even in this state!

 

 

 

 

 

What a lick of paint can achieve.
From a sow's ear to a silk purse! Owner Stew Devereux can be rightly proud of his achievement - the transformation is well worthy of any display.

 

Self-built over a 16 week period, Lawrence Gameson's Land Rover Defender 130, it was designed with a very specific pupose in mind.
That purpose was to travel over a 5 week period 1/4 way around the world to the Altai Region of Russia and back. That's 10,000 miles in 3 weeks of driving!!!

 

Based on an American AM General M934 truck, the vehicle was imported from the Netherlands where it was used by the American Army as a mobile command post.

Boasting sliding side pods, when set up it's 14ft wide!

 

 

 

 

 

We just love the variety of vehicles this event attracts. This next vehicle is a classic example!

A lot more motor home than most motorhomes.
This beautiful conversion was featured on George Clark's "Amazing Spaces" TV series.
According to Simon, it's a DAF CF 18ton 'house truck'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another lovely looking 'live-in' 2WD truck, this being a 2005 DAF LF 7.5 tonner.
Owned by Charlie Glover it's an ex Royal Mail delivery vehicle.

 

A self-built conversion from the ground up it's another classic example of the 'home on wheels'. Great to see these starting to filter into the show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mounted on an Isuzu Rodeo, pictured here is the impressive Aero One Demountable Camper. Manufactured in Poland, proud owner Thomas Woodward reckons this prototype camper is probably the only one of its type in the UK … he’s almost certainly right!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mo maybe slow but he's on the go to the show! What did you expect? The event maybe held in Stratford-upon-Avon but I'm certainly no bard!

 

 

 

 

 

How quirky is this??? The Chick family's pride 'n' joy - Mo the Morris Traveller Camper. Having just completed a tour of Britain which they called "Round the UK on a Tenner a Day" they will be no doubt be telling tales of daring do! You'll find them over near the Truck Pulling attraction in the grandstands complex.

 

1970 Gaz-66. Manufactured in Russia, this Gaz is the pride 'n' joy of one Colin Woollard - was used as a radio repair vehicle in the Czech Army, then converted into an overland camper 2010.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ79 of Ian Harrell. 3.5 ton in weight, the Australian-built camper has crossed all six navigable continents and just retrurned from the Americas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is nothing like leaving it to the last minute. Case in point is the M.A.N. of John Julyan, as his new baby will be entering the paint booth on Saturday 21st September 2019 ... the weekend preceding the 'Late Summer' edition of the show!

No problem, that's a whole week for the paint to cure!!

 

Of what we've heard, he's not the only one. The Adventure Overland Show + International Campervan Show is fast developing into the place to exhibit owner's latest creations - long may it continue.

Keep 'em coming!
