Having been in the same ownership for ten years and being regularly serviced it starts easily and the owner reports that it drives well, making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants a classic camper that's ready to use.
The History and Paperwork
- V5 Present
- Same owner since 2012
- MOT until August
- Previous MOTs from the current ownership
- A selection of invoices from the current ownership covering regular servicing MOTs and repairs as necessary
- Haynes manual
- A copy of The Campervan Bible by Martin Dorey in which it is featured
The Interior
- Good condition throughout
- New carpeting applied to the walls of the living area
- Cooker and fridge are both clean and functional (fridge works on mains and gas)
- 240v outlet sockets
- The cab presents well with everything functioning except for the temperature gauge due to a faulty sensor - a replacement is included with the van
- One of the skylights is held shut with tape to prevent it opening when driving
The two skylights combined with the large rear and side windows make the living quarters feel bright and open, whilst the cupboards provide plenty of storage space.
The cushions are in very good condition along with the carpets and the cupboards, and the interior presents well overall. The rear seats are comfortable and convert into a double bed and there is an additional above the cabin bed up front.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
