The Appeal

The History and Paperwork

• Acquired by the vendor on 27th May 2021
• Exempt from MOT testing and road tax
• A great deal of work has been carried out during the vendor’s ownership
• We’re informed that it was last serviced in December 2022 and runs really well

The Interior

• Recarpeted up front in hard wearing hessian which has been edged in red to complement the paint
• The living quarters have also been recarpeted and all the flooring presents well
• New kitchen worktop fitted, again matching the exterior colour
• The pop-top now has new steel runners and striped canvas complete with windows
• The boards have been removed and the underside of the roof remains in an unfinished state, leaving it up to the next owner how they would like this finished
• The vendor informs us that the front seats are Porsche items
• All the upholstery throughout has been trimmed in matching vinyl and is in really fine shape
• The cabinetry is adorned with various stickers and accessories
• Equipped with all the usual camping amenities including a gas stove, sink and various cupboards
• Securon seat belts fitted in the rear also to allow more passengers

The Exterior 

• Now finished in red to a good standard
• Straight bodywork with good door fit and panel alignment
• Some panels at the rear have reportedly been replaced during the vendor’s ownership
• We’re informed that the lower sections of the bodywork all around the van have received extensive welding and fabrication
• Some yellow paint (the previous colour) does show in places such as in some of the door shuts and inside the engine compartment
• We could see some corrosion underneath, most notably at the front and also to the nearside chassis rail just in front of the gearbox
• The sills appear very sound 
• All the wheel arches appear very sound
• The bumpers present very well, as does the remainder of the exterior trim
• There is some crazing to the glass fibre pop top but this is not especially noticeable 
• The painted steel wheels are in good shape and are complete with hub caps

The Mechanics 

• 1600cc air-cooled engine
• We’re informed that it was last serviced in December 2022
• Inside the engine compartment, a couple of areas would benefit from some tidying but it presents well overall
• The vendor reports that the van runs brilliantly and drives well
