CONVERTED CAMPER LDV MAXUS LUTON (2008)

🟡 Meet Submarine — We All Live in a Yellow Luton
Someone painted an LDV Maxus Luton the most unapologetically yellow shade imaginable, named her Submarine, and spent a good chunk of time building a proper home inside. That someone is me, and I’m now selling because I’ve moved out of the UK and can’t take her with me. She’s not going because anything is wrong with her. Geography is just cruel.
Tax, MOT and insurance have lapsed while she’s been waiting, so factor that into your plans accordingly. Fortunately it’s parked at my mechanic’s garage so whenever it’s needed an MOT can be done.
Submarine is a fully converted, off-grid-capable Luton. 6.5 metres, 160,000 miles of character, and a conversion spec that most campervans can’t compete with.
