Ebay see's a few.

101 Club has listings in their quarterly magazine "Six Stud"

Yahoo's 101 Group is a good place to place a Wanted and often some one will
know of one for sale and give you a tip off if they know your actively
seeking one.

What sort are you after?

If you want a roomy camper, you don't want a 101....

I've given up on my camper conversion. It's just too small for any
more than 2 people. Two nights with a teething 1 year old proved the
point perfectly...

Yeah , they will be cramped. To the point we went looking for ideas at a
caravan sales place and came back with a spanking new caravan.

I'm still going to venture on with my conversion though as I see it as a
satellite camper so we don't have to rush back and can if required stop
anywhere. It also makes a good hot cafe for some of my more off the beaten
path jobs.

I currently have a pair of single forward facing seats which then turn into
a pair of double (triple if you like it cosey!) side facing seats... which
then turn into a double bunk. I did it this way because I wanted rear
seatbelts for the kids. The other bunks will be in the cab area and only
really suitable for 1 adult or 2 children. Of course the options of the fold
up roof / roof tent are there as the 101 Ambulance comes readily equiped
with a escape hatch.

I'm 5 ft 10 and have to stoop. But then how long do you intend standing up
in a 101? Mrs D is 5ft 2 and a fag end and can stand in comfort so long as
there are no loud bangs.

You can raise the roof in the centre, then again you can do alot of things
if you've the money.

The only advantage of a 101 over a Ford Transit is it's off road go anywhere
that alot of other landrovers can't ability... just don't pick a fight with
a wooded lane or narrow gateway.... oh then theres the Nectar points.

MOG's done / doing a 127 ambi and had a 101 before I seem to recall there
was more space in the 101 oddly.

You can do a camper conversion on a bog standard 109 station wagon, at least
I have, trouble is that it is a bit cramped, rather cold, and the extra
weight only adds to the lack of performance. As for standing up, I intend to
use a tent on the back over summer.

Go the whole hog. Bedford TM with a box body on it - you could in theory
stick a small static caravan on the back and be a happy bunny indeed.

I may do this at some point when I have large amounts of money sitting going

If I had LARGE amounts of money then it would be something a little cooler.
Maybe that VTOL C5 from TKR......


Nah, a TM would do for me.

Someone call? ;-) Yes I have. Off the top of my head dimensions are remarkably
similar but I'd need to check my notes.

DAMMIT!

Don't do that to me.

My wife *will* kill me if I go near that, and unfortunately she's not here
just now.

Looks like a nice motor though - any ideas on what a sensible price for that
would be? Paying for all the mods is unrealistic, but even so...

Yes, cheers Steve, you've just caused the beginning of the breakup of my
marriage.

I'd also be interested to know what it's worth...

Pas de probleme !
Change wives. Get a more reasonable model.
"My" 101 ambi is technically Lizzy's. She is as fanatical about our 101s
as me.
But slightly less inclined to get filthy under one.
Though there is room ;-)

"My" 200tdi Disco was technically Abby's. She hated it. I don't think
she's going to fall for that one again :)

Andy has spent around 12-15K on it. He'd accept about 7 or 8K I
reckon.

The issues list is going to get much, much longer. A 101 is an ideal
camper or long range expedition vehicle, but with caveats.

>need to find out internal dimensions, whether the bodies can be made bigger

Forget it. Although this can be done, you'd be better looking for a
bigger vehicle in the first place. A 101 is either something that you
REALLY MUST HAVE or something to be avoided at all costs. DO NOT fall
fould of the many a sad story of buying one, then part converting it
then changing your mind. Not only will you be throwing money away,
but you could also find that an original ambi (for example) will be
worth more in the longer term than one converted to a camper.

Before you go any further, go see one, sit in it, try to imagine what
you'll have to do in order to stand up in it - and how the truck will
look if you mod it in this way.

I really must finish my article for Six Stud on camper conversions...

I've always quite fancied a Tatra 813. 17-and-a-bit litres of V12 diesel
power. 20 forward and four reverse gears. 8 wheel drive.
*cough*5mpg*cough*. Built in engine driven 20ton winch that will winch
forwards or backwards.

Bit impractical though really.

How about an Escaro, 8x8 based on Defender axles, engine and
drivetrain, much smaller but still a juicy looking vehicle! Get
spares from your local Landy dealer ;-)
