Description
This fully documented, highly desirable and original 1964 split-screen campervan ‘Walkthrough Deluxe’, has been professionally restored to a pristine finish.
The camper has attracted interest everywhere it has been. Restored at Hide and Stitch, no area of the van has been left unrestored, and future owners should be confident that an exceptional level of detail has been applied to all areas.
The camper is a left-hand drive, imported from the United States in 2009 (all shipping details will be supplied) and completely re-built with that total ‘nut and bolt’ restoration, top to bottom, interior and exterior, with some useful additions. Thus the van is one of few that has remained true to it’s original historic design, as well as being a comfortable, luxuriously finished, and dependable vehicle.
Despite it’s pristine condition, the van has never been exhibited in any UK shows or events, and only used for a handful of trips since fully restored. It has remained stored continuously in a dry and stable environment.

For seriously interested buyers, we also have a very pretty and extremely useful Danbury teardrop caravan painted in the same cream colour with wood panels on each side, a kitchen area at the back, electrics, and sleeping area for 2. Also shown in the images (but not included in this sale price).
To create this level of finish again would cost from scratch in excess of £125, 000.
If serious, viewing is recommended.
