Description:

1991 Ford Trader MC LWB9 Motorhome - White - 251,311km - 3.5L Turbo Diesel, Manual

Overview

This 1991 Ford Trader MC series LWB9 represents a classic era of Australian motorhome construction, built on the proven Ford Trader platform that became the backbone of the caravan and motorhome industry throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Trader's 3.5 litre turbocharged diesel inline four-cylinder engine paired with manual transmission was the workhorse specification that made these vehicles popular with owner-operators and leisure travellers alike. With 251,311 kilometres on the odometer, this long-wheelbase van has completed a substantial journey, offering character and authenticity that appeals to enthusiasts of classic motorhome design and those seeking a genuine period piece for restoration or continued use.

The Winnebago RV badged coachwork presents as a well-used example of early 1990s motorhome construction. The white exterior shows the patina expected of a vehicle of this age, with fading and weathering visible across the body panels and cladding. The three-door configuration provides access to the driver's cab and living quarters. Interior spaces show honest wear throughout, with visible signs of age in the cabinetry, upholstery, and wall finishes. The kitchen area features a compact layout with sink and cooktop facilities, whilst the bathroom includes a cassette toilet and shower enclosure. Sleeping accommodation is configured with a fixed bed arrangement. The roof-mounted skylight shows rust and weathering consistent with the vehicle's age and exposure. Water staining is evident on interior ceiling panels and walls, indicating historical moisture exposure typical of vehicles of this era that have seen extended use.

At the estimated price guide of $8,000 to $12,000 for a classic motorhome of this specification and condition, this Trader represents accessible entry into classic motorhome ownership. Original 1991 Ford Trader motorhomes have become increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors interested in preserving examples of Australian caravan manufacturing heritage. The manual transmission and turbocharged diesel engine are characteristic of the period and remain serviceable, though any prospective buyer should factor in the age of mechanical and habitation systems when considering use or restoration plans.
