Scoop Up This Revamped 1974 Airstream for $235K in London

A freshly refurbished 1974 Airstream Overlander is now up for grabs in London. While the bullet-like trailer still sports its iconic aluminum skin, the classic vehicle’s interior presents an updated aesthetic upon entry. 

Crisp white walls offer a blank canvas to showcase the various upgrades, including upscale fixtures and oak parquet flooring with a shou sugi ban and white Osmo oil finish. A plush, U-shaped bench that follows the trailer’s curved edge has also been integrated into the open-plan saloon area, which caters to easy entertaining.

"The considered use of interior materials strikes an artful balance between form and function," notes listing agency Aucoot. For example, the fully fitted kitchen features lightweight engineered terrazzo worktops, along with smart cooking appliances by Gagganeu and a spacious fridge with an ice box.

At the opposite end of the living spaces, sliding doors neatly conceal the sleeping area, which features a full-size bed, two wardrobe units, and built-in shelves. Nearby, the bathroom comes with a Corian shower room equipped with a Dornbracht overhead fixture, as well as an odorless Cinderella combustion toilet. 

Although the Airstream’s chassis and shell are fully restored, the Aucoot team adds that the trailer is not currently suitable for towing. "We can see this thoughtfully overhauled 1974 Airstream Overlander as a central feature to a large garden or outdoor space, offering a unique accommodation solution or acting as a home office," reads the listing. "It could also make an excellent holiday rental opportunity with year-round potential, thanks to the air conditioning unit and thermostat-controlled heating."

The 1974 Airstream Overlander is currently listed in East London for approximately $234,445 by Aucoot.
