This Weird RV Is A Vixen 21 TD Powered By A BMW Straight-Six And Penned By The DeLorean’s Designer

This is a Vixen 21 TD and it might just be the coolest RV ever designed.

Listed up for sale on eBay and located in McDade, Texas, the Vixen 21 TD was designed by Bill Collins who also designed the DeLorean DMC-12. It sits significantly lower than a traditional RV and was designed to slip through the air. In fact, it has a drag coefficient of under 0.30 and is powered by a rear-mounted BMW turbodiesel inline-six producing 115 hp and coupled to a five-speed manual transmission.

As noted by Jalopnik, the Vixen 21 TD can exceed 100 mph (160 km/h) and weighs just 5,100 lbs (~2,300 kg). Just 587 examples were ever produced and this one is number 366.

The seller notes that the RV was re-painted in BMW’s shade of Alpine White in 2018 and that the fiberglass bodywork has been carefully repaired and resurfaced throughout 2018 and 2019. It also features a new passenger wide window, new door handles, and cockpit ceiling has been rebuilt in white plastic.

Comprehensive work has also been done to restore the powertrain to its former glory. As such, there are new radiator caps and hoses as well as a new water pump, theromostat, transmission seals, clutch plate, pressure plate, throwout bearing system, pilot bearing, clutch master and slave cylinder, and a clutch pedal upgrade. The axles have also been cleaned new boots have been fitted. The brakes have also been overhauled with new calipers, hoses, and an 8-inch double vacuum booster.

The RV has 116,192 miles (186,992 km) on the clock and bidding was approaching the $11,000 mark at the time of writing.
