Modern motorhomes may be faster, safer and more luxurious, but they’ll never beat the older models from the 1960s when it comes to style.

This Bedford Dormobile is currently up for auction at RM Sotheby’s.

It’s a 1961 model that has been fully restored to its former glory.

The Dormobile was quite advanced when it was first launched, as it featured a sink, stove and cupboards. You could definitely still use it as a motorhome if you accept the fact that you won’t get to your destination very quickly.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
