The Utility of ‘Sport Utility Vehicles’. It’s no secret that I’m completely obsessed with these works of art, but I don’t own one (yet). I love the idea of a project, and this would fill that niche.
Instead of the typical street-legal options, what if I went with something a little more utility…for example:
Pop top:
The ultimate tailgater:
A two-door station wagon?:
The ‘team bus’ for the next little league team I coach:
Big time sunroof:
Another tailgater. Imagine pulling this bad boy up to the Grove?
I couldn’t not include one of these beauties:
You got it:
What do you think? Where does the ‘street legal’ line end?

They don’t have power steering, A/C or get above 65mph – they’re not practical but far from being non street legal. Any old Rover is a joy to drive. Now I miss my Defender
A good friend of mine hauled a Dormobile similar to the top pic out of a field in BC and did a complete restoration. Double beds up top and down, the back door has a folding shelf that fits a Coleman stove. It is as good as it sounds and I’d be on the hunt for one if it weren’t for the sentimental attachment I have for the MGB in my garage.
Because a home really isn’t a home until you have a classic British car leaking oil all over the place.
There is a dormobile in decent shape on eBay right now.
I just bought a Series IIa. About 3 weeks left before I park it until Spring.
You could always go with a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and a Safari Top from gr8tops.com.
100% agree…handsome vehicle. Check out this video of the Camel Trophy back in the day. Pure enjoyment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGWp8R-IqoE
