Beschreibung:

Constructed on the larger scale commercial Model AA series chassis, by engine number this would date its original build to June 1931. At some point later in its life the Ford has been converted to the form in which it is seen today, a commodious Camping style vehicle. Taking the basis of a closed cab AA, the rear deck has been fitted with a sturdy enclosed caravan section. Within the rear cabin, everything has been thought out and carefully designed from a full kitchenette area, to seating that can convert to sleeping and atop the vehicle is an Intercamp extending roof to provide additional ventilation. The condition of the twin wheeled AA is very good and so it seems that the whole vehicle was restored at the time of the conversion. Paperwork on file with Camper includes old Dutch registration documents which denote it to have been in the Netherlands since the mid 1970s, while it was one of the more recent acquisitions or donations to the museum arriving in the last few years. Even among the extensive collection here, this Ford is unique, and as such it stands out, as it could easily do for its next custodian, be it in a race meeting paddock or perhaps on tour for the summer months ahead.
