Does this Dormobile still exist

Hi all

I am looking for this Dormobile as it used to belong to William's girlfriend's Grandparents. They bought it for a trip of a lifetime, before they started a family, driving it to South Africa. They got most of the way to South Africa, but then decided to cut the trip short as they had been having far to much fun and William's girlfriend's mum was well on the way.

All I know is in the picture. I am not sure of the suffix letter, but it looks an early Series 3 and
Land Rover Dormobile virtually stopped production in 1974. I have looked on the DVLA site and there is a Land Rover with the reg JAY262L, but it's tax expired Nov 1990.

Anybody know anything?

Vehicle details for JAY 262L

This on looks green in the picture? Is it the same land Rover?

Cheers Mick

It's not had an MOT recently either: https://mot-history.net/ doesn't find anything for JAY262L (Also tried suffixes H - P with no results). That only goes back to 2009 though I think.

Maybe worth putting it in the camper register then hopefully one day it'll catch somebodies eye?

Hi Bob

Have been thinking along those line. Will double check its ok to print the families details and then see if I can get it in. Shouldn't be too much of a problem as I have been contacted by Classic Land Rover, LRM and LRO in the last month, because they were looking for stories or wanted technical assistance.
