Airstream has been viewed as the premium constructor of American 'trailers' and motorhomes since Wally Byam started manufacturing his unique Silver Bullet caravans in 1932. Their space-age designs and aerodynamic forms have defined the travel industry. After the moon-landing, the Apollo 11 astronauts were quarantined in an Airstream Mobile Quarantine Facility and a 1983 Airstream Excella, named the 'Astrovan', of a similar design to the 350LE offered, was used to shuttle the astronauts to the pad at Kennedy Space Center between 1983 and 2011. Airstream started manufacturing Class A motorhomes in 1974, utilising their iconic aerodynamic and strong construction method for the fuselage.

This 1990 350LE version is built on a high-speed Chevrolet coach chassis and is one of the last of their classic aircraft-style semi-monocoque aluminium frame and skin designs. Imported by the vendor in 2012, the Airstream was subject to a full overhaul by LAS Motorhomes of Northampton, at a cost of c.£120,000. The vendor has advised that the aluminium fuselage has been painstakingly stripped and re-lacquered to a very high standard and that the interior features its original hardwood furniture and fittings, with the internal structure relined in 'ostrich skin'. The vendor also states that the soft furnishings and seats have been re-upholstered in leather by Oxted Trimming, who specialise in aircraft and helicopter interiors. Under the skin, work has included a new wooden underfloor, rewiring for 240v, chassis under sealing, re-plumbing, refurbishment of the running gear including new front adjustable airbags, brakes and a new overdrive unit mated to the automatic gearbox. This low mileage motorhome has clocked up only c.69,153 miles and is described by the vendor as being in ‘very good condition’ having been regularly maintained by LAS Motorhomes.

The vendor has advised that it will be put through a fresh MOT in preparation for sale and will be supplied with the original owner’s manual, wiring diagrams and Chevy P30 chassis maintenance manual.
