- Charming retro British camper, ready for adventure
-  Lovingly maintained and in fine fettle

Step back in time and embrace the charm of this quintessential retro camper. A classic that masterfully combines vintage elegance with a spirit of adventure. Debonair by name and by nature, this charming British 60’s icon is an invitation to relive the golden days of motoring and explore new horizons in style and comfort.

Introduced in the late 1960s, the Bedford Debonair was designed to cater to both the weekend wanderer and the long-haul explorer. Its charming design and clever, spacious interior embody an era of cool, always ready for a spontaneous adventure. The original integrated mini fridge—a whopping £45 option at the time—ensures wherever you arrive, you’re always refreshed with a cold tipple of your choosing. 

Original spec includes a 1.6-litre Vauxhall built inline 4-cylinder engine offering good efficiency and practicality, paired with a four-speed manual transmission, lovingly kept in fine fettle with countless hours of maintenance having been poured into it in current ownership, sourcing original parts where possible.

This example’s overall condition is testament to the quality of their construction, built on a robust Bedford heavy-duty chassis and featuring lovely Martin Walter coachwork, the lightweight yet sturdy fiberglass panels contribute to the Debonair’s classic appearance while evidently giving longevity and ease of maintenance.

Inside, the Debonair’s cleverly designed space offers ample room for comfortable seating, sleeping, and dining. The interior, with its retro upholstery and charming period details, has been much loved and improved over the years. It now exudes a sense of nostalgia and classic charm.

Fully equipped, with space to customize and improve further, this vehicle is ready for many more adventures with its new owners. It promises to create countless new memories, just as it has over the decades.

Accompanying the sale is current UK V5, a comprehensive history file, reproduction price lists, adverts etc, and additional documentation that underscores its well-preserved condition.
