Yup,
Martin Walter put badges on the inside and outside of
Dormobiles. First, on the left, is the Martin Walter sticker
on the left rear of John's 1968 RHD Dormobile. It is stuck on the
paint above the backup lights, above the Land Rover station
wagon plate. Some Dormobiles seem to have this
sticker and some do not. |
 |
This is a metal badge riveted to the rear of a RHD Series IIA Land Rover Dormobile. Year unknown. The wording is the same as the sticker above.
Perhaps this badge was only applied to UK Home market Dormobiles? |
Inside the vehicle, Martin Walter put an ID plate with a serial
number. Land Rovers with dual wiper motors had their ID plate
mounted on the bulkhead inside the passenger side cubby
box area. Land
Rovers with a single wiper motor had their ID plate mounted
on the wiper motor cover plate. The ID plate is centered in
its mounting area and held in place with 1/8 inch pop rivets.
On a 1961 Land Rover Dormobile |
This badge is on a 1961 Land
Rover Dormobile and is most likely the first style used with
Land Rover Dormobiles.
The stamped number appears to be the serial number without
year and configuration designations. |
Found on 1962 through 1968 Land Rover Dormobiles
|
This style badge has been verified
as correct on 1962 through 1968 Land Rover Dormobiles. The ID
sequence of 1962 and 1963 Dormobiles were "U" followed by 626
or 625 to designate 4 bunk or 2 bunk layout, followed by
the last digit of the year followed by a dot, then the serial
number.
The serial number on later
plates were serial #, dot, last digit of year made, dot, 626
or 625 to designate the bunk layout.

On a 1969 Land Rover Dormobile |
This is the newer
style Dormobile ID plate. Best guess so far is that Martin
Walter used it from 1969 through to the end of Series
IIA production, 1971.
During the 1960's the year designation was the last digit
of the year. During the 1970's the year designation was the
last two year digits |
On a 1974 Series III Land Rover Dormobile |
Series III Land Rover Production
started in the fall of 1971. Series III Land Rover Dormobiles
had a plastic instrument panel leaving
no metal surfaces to pop rivet a metal badge to. Martin Walter
switched to a
stick on label which they mounted on the centre inside bulkhead
area below the instrument panel.
The ID number appears to read: 75024.74.626 |
On a 1972 Land Rover Dormobile Series IIA |
This badge is on a 1972 Series
IIA (6 cyl, RHD). It came from South Africa.
The ID number is: 58429.72.626 |
Dormobile wing badges
 |
This is the early style Dormobile
nameplate. This type was used on early and mid
1960's Dormobiles.
Mounting holes: The rear most hole is located
2 inches forward of the outer wing rear edge and 4 inches down
from the top edge of the outer wing panel. The front
hole is 5-7/8 inches forward of the rear hole. |
 |
This later type nameplate came
on late 1960's and the few 1970's Dormobiles. |
