Solved: Wendax 773 - 1975 eight-wheeler Ford motorhome

[Wendax]

That's what I call an extraordinary motorhome.

For one point, please respond and tell me the marque of the mechanical base, an approximate year of build and the country it comes from. Additional information is welcome.

That's pretty cool, whatever it is.

USA, mid 70s, GMC base?  (And maybe designed by Bruce McCall?)

[Wendax]

Not from the US, no GMC underneath, but from the mid 70s, and I don't know the designer or any person responsible for this one.

Looks as if William Towns was told to design a motorhome and was let loose with his straightedge.

Yes, that's one third of the solution.

Maybe

The 4-wheel steering should simplify the search — at least for the mechanical base, but found nothing so far...

[Wendax]

I wouldn't have connected the base with an eight-wheeler.

I should have downloaded it.  Was it a Ford Thames base, was'nt ?

[Wendax]

I just know that it is Ford-based. Second third solved. Locked for you to find the approximate year.

This futuristic motor caravan was seen in Dunstable in June 1998.  I can't tell more.

[Wendax]

I think you found the picture. Have a close look at the license plate and you will know from when it dates. Still locked.

LBW 995N : This registration was first registered during the period August 1974 to July 1975. The registration was first registered in Oxford.

[Hiawatha]

Year is correct, I believe licence plate is from Birmingham.
Well done for finding the vehicle..

A well-earned point for you!

I had downloaded it.  I should have indexed it in detail.

It's an Oxford registration, dating, I believe, from early 1975.
