The company later converted a number of different van-based vehicles to other uses, including minibuses and ambulances before collapsing in the mid 1990's.
The novelist Anthony Burgess, who owned one and used it as a home and means of travelling throughout western Europe in the late 1960s, described the Bedford Dormobile as "a miracle of British design, although much let down by slipshod British execution — screws missing, bad wood-planing..."
