1971 Ford F250 camper special | Oxford, Oxfordshire

A 1971 Ford F250 camper special, the long-bed three-quarter-ton pickup that Ford equipped for carrying slide-in campers. The package brought heavy-duty cooling, camper wiring and a larger alternator, and the truck is liked for its sturdy, outdoor working character. This one is red with a maroon interior, a warm pairing that sits well against fields, coast or open country. Its 6.4-litre petrol engine moves a tall, long body that seats three, and it is in fair condition. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side, and the cab gives an American look in shot. The long bed and high stance leave room to dress a scene, which suits period film and TV, advertising, photography and music videos set in 1970s America. Fashion and editorial shoots can use the bed as a stage. A couple wanting a different wedding car, or anyone planning a personal hire, will find it a change from the usual. The truck is based in Oxford, Oxfordshire.
