- When I saw that Silverstone Auctions had this as one of their lots I had to go take a closer look.

One thing I really enjoy about your videos is that you always present the vehicle in it's best light. An older classic like this is best appreciated for what it was designed to be in it's own era, and you always show such respect for that context.
Well done. As usual.
I appreciate that!
A lovely RV, the downside is a 7.4 litre petrol V8 and don't expect to get more than 10mpg, even 8mpg is considered good in these vehicles. Many RVs of this vintage are having their petrol V8s swapped for a Cummins 12 valve B series 5.9 liters diesel, but this one is very tricky because it is front wheel drive.
Wow. Great job. What a delight to see one of these goodies again. As an « experienced » interior designer on the West Coast of U.S., I had a client many years ago that purchased one of these goodies, turned it over to me with the request to, « redo » the entire interior of the coach. We stripped the entire interior and completely redecorated same. All new appliances, upholstery, plumbing, electronic and sound systems, window treatments, etc. etc. Wish I still had photos to share. Your tour was a great nostalgic treat. Once again: great job and thank you!
As a kid My family owned a motor home with a bunk bed, when we stoped by some rv camps we would day dream about these huge coaches and trailers until a beautiful airstream parked beside us. Never gave up the dream of having one
Stunning... What amazes me is the quality in its basic aesthetic is superb! I mean to have something like this built now would cost you a few million easy and even then you still wouldnt get this level craftsmanship that you got 30/40+ years ago!
Saw this on Harry's garage and was hoping good old motoholic would come through. Can't wait to get home and watch it later thanks for the upload
Hope you enjoy it!
Oh how I do very much remember Air Stream motor homes and trailers. As the glint of the sun blinded me and everyone else from behind its gleaming exterior. That aside they were a work of art of a bygone era from which certain colours should never ever be reconstituted again, ever. And yet it’s strangely wonderful to see an old classic once again. Please keep it in the Uk. Thank you.
Great video Nick I enjoyed that one. You cover all of my favorite things boats , cars and Rv’s. Well done.
If you had pulled up in this thing when it was “in it’s time” people would have thought you were some celebrity. Beautiful quality and nice to see it so well cared for!
Motaholic and Aquaholic are the two best transport channels on UA-cam 👍🏻❤️
You're very kind
Add in Harry's garage and that's all we need
No one does walkthroughs like you, nick. Always a pleasure to watch.
You're very kind :)
Living in the US, I just never see these anymore. Thank you
Wow.. Just awesome Nick Sir.... You are looking truly great...
This is my ultimate dream RV. THANK YOU so.much for showing this unique and timeless motorhome
You're very welcome, thanks for watching!
Oh I’m so glad I’m not the only one lol
That really is the Sunseeker of the RV world! What a great vehicle and tour Nick
Very great find! I used to seeing these all rusted out and broken down over here in the USA. Nice to see one that was loved and taken care of. Great tour too! Cheers!
To bad it doesn’t float. 😉
You mean like loloho's ?
Anyone else's OCD get triggered by that bottom step? Just me?
I'd watch an hour video of anything by this guy.
If I owned it, it would drive me nuts, to be honest. LOL
Those electric steps get worn out and don’t work well after a while, or they get hit by road debris, or they don’t retract and you take off down the road and hit them on something, and they they have to be replaced. If you are lucky they are a standardized bolt on part from one of the many RV parts manufacturers and can be somewhat easily replaced.
The bottom step, the chipped bathroom door and the way the adjacent wall shakes when he opens/closes the door. I’m sure this RV looked great in the 1990’s but seems like an awful lot of space for two people, modern RV’s are designed with every available space utilised to the max.
What a beauty! I love that retro look. Here in Odessa they have this US 50's Diner restaurant. This reminds me of it. It really does have the feel of a boat as well. You got me confused when you said toilet instead of dayheads, lol!
Great to see you up here in Northamptonshire to see such a unique vehicle on British roads. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Nick,all that ornate work inside the side door is actually a screen door that separates so you can leave the hard shell open and get some ventilation. Pretty sure.
Interesting, thanks!
Hi Nick. This reminds me of STRIPES with bill murray. A tour bus for Griswalds European Vacation. So glad you did the tour. Thanks
My pleasure!
In "Stripes" it was a Gmc Motorhome.
You always find the true gems 💎 out there nick.
Very nice walkthrough! I have a 31' version, they're fantastic, but a land yacht indeed keeping up with the maintenance! :)
Thank you for explaining and demonstrating the purpose of a door and how it works.
It's my pleasure, I hope it proves helpful. 🙂
Thanks Nick for driving the 6 hours for us.
This would be a blast to do a tour with but I imagine you’d never get any peace with all the eyeballs gawking at it. Like mine..
For a moment it was like we were seeing an episode of AQUAHOLIC and the inside of a Water Yacht 🛥 instead of a Land Yacht 🚐 when we got the wave in the mirror! 👋 lol! Modern RV's have got better amenities but I'd love to do at least one trip in a classic like this! Nice to see the originality of the interior still intact, although admittedly I would probably later on gut it and make it original on the outside but completely modern inside with a rear lounge and Murphy bed. Good thing you did the RV after already going through the cars or else you may have looked out the window and yelled "Ohh, forget the RV, there's a Ford Capri"! lol! (There are some really nice ones there!) Another great Vlog 👍 👏
When you first look at it and you say it is 35ft long it makes you realise how big a 70ft motor yacht is!
Looking down the length really puts a ship's size into better perspective.A 50' ship looks like this.What a well kept 'Land yacht'.
Be still my heart! I love the vintage feel! Nothing I want more than an airstream straight out of the 80’s, except maybe a 1984 burnt orange el Camino!
I would sell my home and soul ( to the devil ) to have this beautiful creation for one summer. Touring around England/ Eire /Scotland with my loved ones. My idea of heaven. It is top- knotch. Love the tour of this immaculate ' bit of kit '. it is divine
you are quicker, than my internet connection, my virtual friend.
stay safe , with kind regards from Canterbury U.K. plus seasonal greatings

@@royferguson3909 seasons greeting to you as well fellow traveler. Stay safe and most importantly, have fun!
Such a beautiful piece of history with added current bits too. I prefer this to some of the modern motorhomes.
*This dude loves opening drawers.*
Nick you are the best tour guide
You're very kind 🙂
That's the biggest Airstream I've ever seen. Incredible !
Nice one, I used to see about four of these every year congregating in Plymouth before heading out on their hols. 👍
Your the only Honestly one i watch for Yachting i love you reached out to other things just don't stretch yourself thin tho. The love & passion that you show for a product is breathless your a great salesman on vehicles i'll give you that haha. Great work keep it up !
You're very kind 🙂
really cool RV, I love those massive windows
Awesome I live in my 3rd Airstream in LA,Ca they are Amazing! Thanks for showing this Classic! Wow ive only seen maybe 2 in person in 51 years.. Love your channels Mate ♥️👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That's very cool!
Those Airstream motorhomes are very rare. Because of the aluminum body, they have a super long life, longer if properly taken care of.
Great find. You only really see Streamliners in 80s-90s movie's 👍🏾
This video just knocked me back 25 years 😂
so did your hair- cut....my friend....
cos I am balding now ( and your not ). love your comment
The name says it all. Classic!
Great walkthrough Nick and a lovely bit of history the outside still looks stunning really beautiful. The inside is not to my taste but in very good condition.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love to see you and Harry’s Garage do a road trip in this 😁
Very nice example a yacht on wheels for a change.👍👍👍
I can see what everyones going to be doing next year, fingers crossed. Thanks for the walk round
Thanks for watching it. 🙂
Ha ha don’t know why or how I missed that one, but geez I’m glad it popped up on my feed 😎👍🏻 what a great video Nick always wondered what they looked like from the inside, because the outside is really special , I always think of the NASA astronauts 👩🚀 jumping in one of them to go to the launch pad 😂😂👍🏻😎 kind regards Jeff 🍺
Glad you enjoyed it
Even tho the interior looks extremely dated, it feels so cozy and homely. I mean, nostalgia is a strong thing and it’s everywhere now, maybe it’s time for nostalgic homes and interiors? The 1989 collection from IKEA, anyone?
Absolutely amazing piece of motorhome history and Americana
AMERICA # 1 COUNTRY FOR THE BEST MOTORHOMES IN THE WORLD.
ONLY UNITED STATES
GOD BLESS AMERICA
...AMEN ...
They did a great job wow absolutely stunning
This was very nice! In great shape!!😃😃😃😃
You are correct, the engine is under the big hump between the front seats. Here in the USA we call that a “dog house.”
Cool, thanks!
And whatever you do don’t stand on the doghouse or put your weight on it, they are usually made of fiberglass and aren’t all that strong.
Right. Just a cover for heat and noise, and removable so you can access the top of the engine for service.
What a nice airstream. The presentation was very good.
Good job fella!
Thank you kindly!
That was fun...had no idea that Airstream made more than top-of-the-line camping trailers. Thanks!
if i had that money id have that RV, its stunning
Wow ! Be no problem to spend a week on this beauty 😀👍
That was amazing. Wouldn’t want to drive that behemoth though 😆
Fantastique 🥰🥰😍😍 magnifaïque 😍😍😍. Super rénovation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
I had a chance to drive a 40 something foot RV in the USA a couple of years ago. Over there, if you can handle a transit van you'll be fine in one. I wouldn't fancy winding it down our roads though.
Country roads in the U.K are touchy to sayvthe lest in a Grand Tour salon
Well worth the drive, I can see this parked up on the dock next to Smuggler's Blues
🤔
It seems a lot longer than Smuggler’s Blues. Could be that things floating in water don’t seem as large as things sitting on land.
@@jeromep It is a lot longer than Smuggler's Blues 2 - it's 35ft, SB2 is 26ft.
never knew they made a motorhome. i have only seen their 5th wheels. this is super cool.
Oh this is nice .. love to go on a road trip in USA in this
3x M3 E30 😍😍😍
I KNOW!! 😃
Absolutely stunning. I would park and use it as a home. Very long RV and only sleeps 2. Not a lot of storage as the newer ones are.
It's like a 'little' time capsule. Absolutely beautiful, this and the Brut Capri and the garage is complete.
Excellent video, thanks. Take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍🚌🚌🚐🚐🏴☠️☠⚓😎
You’ve got great taste for selecting this. It’s a true classic. I’d trade my airstream Mercedes sprinter conversion for this anytime..
Ok dream time. Win the lotto. Buy it. Pitch it somewhere like a lake in summer, mountains in the winter. Bliss 😊
I didn’t know this channel even existed!!
Great work my guy!
Welcome aboard!
The engine space/cover is referred to as the “dog house” here in the States.
WoW just wow...very impressive!!!
There is something about classic motorhomes that gives you feeling more of a home than the modern motorhomes.
Looks cool and futuristic....from outside!
Interior like it was made in 1960's....
I just liked this video during the ads waiting for the skip button ....... but it’s Nick of course its going to be a good video!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Omg the original flooring 😍
Something like that would had been awesome living in during college: having it parked nearby the school, with full access to electricity, water and a
sewage connection. /ballin Edit: i wish they dithed the hanging locket oposite the toilet and instead built a much bigger shower, so you could sit in there.. and also a sliding door.
This is so great .. I would love to do a big road trip with my girlfriend .. across parts of America 🇺🇸
Cool looking RV. A mansion on wheels.
I knew a guy in Runcorn who used to import US RV’s into the UK, they were really impressive but came with the gasoline engine which cost a fortune in fuel, he spent over £200 on petrol going to York and back to do a show!
He would retrofit them with Perkins Diesel engines and sell them on
I'd say the price tag on it would been *STUNNING* Too!
You should buy it and give to to your RV buddies to modernize.
If I owned this I'd want to keep it as original as possible I think
But the steering is on the wrong side..🤔
It is like stepping back in time to a simpler time
Totally amazing ❤️💖❤️🙏😇 God bless Great video 👍
A classic US landyacht, just like the modern Class A RV
It is a Class A RV, just built the way Airstream would build a Class A.
@@jeromep And a very stylish one indeed. Kind of shame how "ordinary" their Class As became after they switched to laminate.
Not a motorhome person lol but this one pretty cool for a weekend once in a while away if u live in vancouver id fancy that...😁 and i love the ashtrayzzz😆
Wow that is amazing 🤩
A work of art
Absolutely beautiful 😍
Now this for me is worth the money. So adorable for this beautiful build and compared to the previous "RV" price point £650,000 (on this channel may I add) well this airstream is worth paying the price for. I would buy this and some of the others (4/6 berths with price points under £100,000) over the more expensive types anyday. I mean is it me or not but I think you get more for your money on the "cheaper" models and I know they exactly cheap but the lower price models to me personally are worth it as they come across as a home from home as more expensive models you seem to be paying for the Tec stuff. That's my opinion anyway wonder who else thinks like me??

That black plate with the cross was for the leveling jacks.
obsessed with cupboards and drawers
Great video, Nice submariner Coke you rocking there sir!
Love it...fascinating!
It's a beauty. 😍
I can smell this motor home through the screen 😆
That truly is a beast.
Love the video 👍🏼 whatever is the mpg on that thing? 🤷🏼♂️
Congratulations
Always good videos
Always good
God Bless You
Thanks a lot
Beautiful
Just looked it up, its lower estimate is the same price as a new VW Califoria which seems absolutely crazy to me!
Luv it... so unique
I was wondering why you didn't cover this guy in the previous video! 🤣🤣
