Renault Master LH35 dCi 120 | Manual | 4-Berth | 3 Travelling Seatbelts
Mileage: 60,000 (Low Mileage)
Condition: Rare Prototype Model – High Spec – Fresh March 2026 MOT
Motorhomepig is excited to offer this unique 2008 Bailey Prototype, built on the dependable Renault Master LH35 chassis. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of development history—a prototype model that showcases the quality and innovation Bailey is known for. With just 60,000 miles on the clock, a Full Service History, and a recent mechanical overhaul, this coachbuilt is in excellent standing. It features a premium specification usually reserved for flagship models, including Alde hydronic central heating and a fixed rear bed.
The "Prototype" Luxury Layout:
Permanent Rear Bedroom: Features the highly sought-after fixed rear bed layout, providing a dedicated sleeping sanctuary with significant storage space accessible from both inside and out.
Versatile Sleeping: Designed as a 4-berth, the front lounge area provides a bright, airy social space that easily converts into a second double bed for guests or family.
Gourmet Kitchen: Fully equipped for long-distance touring with a 3-way fridge, microwave, and high-quality cabinetry.
High-Spec "Off-Grid" Equipment:
Being a prototype, this vehicle was used to showcase top-tier equipment:
Power Independence: Outfitted for the serious wild camper with Twin Leisure Batteries, a Solar Panel, and a built-in Inverter, allowing you to run 240v appliances without a hookup.
Entertainment: Comes ready to enjoy with a TV and Aerial system already installed.
Mechanical Integrity & Specifications:
The dCi 120 Powerplant: Powered by the 2.5L Renault dCi 120 engine. This unit is known for its smooth torque delivery and reliability, making it an effortless cruiser on motorways and hills.
Recent Maintenance: This vehicle is truly "turn-key" ready, having passed its MOT in March 2026 and receiving a Full Service in February 2026.
Cambelt Replacement: For your peace of mind, the Cambelt was changed at 30,000 miles (2018), ensuring the engine's long-term health.
Transparent Condition & Notes:
Bodywork & Condition Note: This vehicle is priced to reflect its age and the extensive DIY restoration work carried out by the current owner. While the owner has worked to address previous water ingress, prospective buyers should note that the repairs were not carried out
Exterior: The outer skin shows visible distortions and damage from previous insulation replacement. Most exterior trims have been resealed with silicone as a preventative measure, resulting in a functional but non-professional aesthetic finish.
We strongly advise a physical viewing to satisfy yourself with the "project" nature of the bodywork before traveling long distances.
At Motorhomepig, we pride ourselves on absolute transparency:
Integrity: Confirmed HPI clear with no outstanding finance
With a fresh MOT and full service history, it offers incredible value for someone wanting a high-spec, fixed-bed motorhome.
Walk-around videos are available upon request. Motorhomepig are proud to offer this vehicle as a broker, available to view in Selby.

Questions & Answers
Buyer is asking about fuel economy (MPG) and whether there's any history of damp or damage on the Bailey Approach Prototype.
Fuel economy: A full tank did approximately 500 miles last month. Damp history: There were some damp issues a couple of years ago, but the seller stripped it back and resealed both internally and externally. It has been fine since the repair.

Buyer is asking if the seller would accept a caravan in part exchange towards the Bailey Approach.
No, the seller is not interested in accepting a caravan as part exchange.
Answered 26 Apr 2026
Buyer has seen the previous Q&A about damp repairs and wants to know: 1) Are there receipts for the damp repair work, or was it done by the owner themselves? 2) Has the motorhome had a habitation check since the damp repairs were completed?
All repairs were carried out by the seller himself over 2 years ago. He stripped the rear end back to the outer shell, reinstalled a waterproof membrane, fitted insulated panels, then a hardboard skin finished with wallpaper. No sign of damp since the repair, but no habitation check has been done. The seller has photos taken during the repair work and can provide these.
