#Thunderbird 2 series#

It has a total of eight windows at the front giving you a view of all of your surroundings. Underneath its metal body is a 1994 Toyota Previa, a 2438cc petrol automatic. I’d like to call it the green camper of the skies. And yes before you ask this Thunderbird 2 is completely road legal. It was known for swooping in at quick response to deliver cargo, lift vehicles away or drop people off where needed. The Thunderbird 2 is a supersonic carrier that can blast at a whopping 6000 mph but cruises at a chill 2000 mph when it wants to. And we’ll be honest it was an absolutely amazing TV show that brings back some very cool childhood memories.Now you can bring those memories to life with a real life Thunderbird 2 camper van. It ran for 32 episodes over two years and even after 1966 it was repeated hundreds of times, even into the 90’s.

Now if you’re new to Thunderbirds, let me explain! The Thunderbirds was a British sci-fi television series that aired from 1964 to 1966, and it famously used puppets to recreate all of its scenes, a bit like Team America.

So seeing a piece of my childhood mixed with my adult interests really makes me go all gooey inside. I remember as a child, watching the Thunderbirds and even having this exact aircraft as a toy.

We’ve seen some almighty campervan conversions in our time, but none that come close to this Thunderbird 2 conversion.
