Footnotes

The smartly turned out Morris A60 commercial offered here is one of a believed 350-or-so converted to camper van configuration by Torcars of Great Torrington, Devon. Torcars had been founded in 1968 by business partners Ron Webster and Alan Hutchinson, the former being an established Hove-based motor-home manufacturer and the latter one of his customers. Based on second-hand Austin/Morris A60 vans, prototype campers had already been built before the production SunTor was ready in early 1969. Built to a high standard, these SunTor conversions proved popular; they would fit into a standard single garage, and with the pop-up roof raised an adult could stand upright in one. Torcars' new factory was ready by the autumn of 1971. By this time production of the A60 van had ceased, so Torcars turned to the Morris Marina as well as building larger motor-homes on other manufacturers' chassis. There is a Torcars SunTor Register, which caters for owners of these charming little motor-homes.

Described by the vendor as running and driving extremely well, this SunTor camper benefits from lots of work and has a new bench, sink, cupboards and fold-down bed. Finished in two-tone Country Cream/red metallic, the vehicle displays a total of circa 82,000 miles on the odometer and is offered with restoration bills and a V5C document.
