The Appeal

The History and Paperwork

• Along with the two keys, there is a large folder full of paperwork
• The paperwork includes the normal V5 and a lot of MOT certificates 
• During the previous ownership, the van went through a big restoration process
• At this point, everything that needed changing was done
• As they were an engineer it was done very well
• It also went through a course of rust work and prevention with Waxoyl 
• The current owner acquired the van in 2017 
• One of the first jobs completed was to fit a new electronic ignition system
• Along with some work to the heater
• This needed new heat exchangers, exhaust, and they also insulated the central heat pipe
• There were also new front brake calipers, discs, and brake pads fitted
• Within the living space, there is a new memory foam mattress, along with a duvet, pillows, a new 2-ton jack, 2 camping chairs, and a cool box amongst other parts
• It also has a nice new leisure battery 
• All in there are about £11,500 worth of invoices present and a lot of them have been photographed
• It is now your chance to get behind the wheel of this wonderful classic and take it on some great adventures in the future
• There is nothing better than getting out on the road and setting up wherever you wish

The Interior

• Starting up front in the cabin we are presented with a very neat interior indeed
• The two front seats are finished in some wonderfully period cloth
• They are both in great condition
• The carpets up front are in beautiful condition
• As is the colour coded dashboard
• The cabin is a great place to sit and watch the miles tick on by 
• You and your co-pilot will be able to create many happy memories up here
• Moving through the two front seats we made our way into the business end of the camper, the living space
• You’ll see a large bench seat, that can be used as extra seating as it too has seatbelts
• Folding this bench seat down you then have your main bed section 
• There are two smaller bunks for the younger ones amongst us, these run across the tops of the windows
• As the van had a restoration fairly recently, all of the fixtures and fittings inside are nice and modern 
• This can be seen with the main side unit in the back
• On top, there is a two-burner gas hob and a sink
• The sink is fed by a clean water system, and the waste drains into a grey waste compartment 
• There are two bottles of gas that will come with the van too
• There is quite a bit of storage for all of your camping equipment
• Of course, this van has the added benefit of a pop-up top
• This’ll give you a lot of space to stand and cook
• When you have been out all day and wish to charge your phones then don’t worry it has a separate 12v system that runs off a new leisure battery
• There is also a night heater fitted, this was installed professionally 
• Even more importantly, there is a new carbon monoxide monitor fitted
• The interior of this van is in wonderful condition indeed and ready to be used
• All that is left is for you to get in and go

The Exterior 

• The shape of a Volkswagen campervan is iconic 
• This example is presented in wonderful exterior condition 
• As part of the restoration work, the van went in for a full re-spray
• Coming out in this great two-tone paint job it looks amazing from every angle 
• The condition of the paint is very good
• The body and painted bumpers show practically no areas of corrosion 
• It is said, by the current owner, that the van is totally rust free
• Not only are the big exterior parts presented well, but even the smaller parts are also
• The chrome hubcaps are very reflective
• Even the painted rims are in great condition
• They are also shod with fairly new looking, and matching, Firestone tyres
• When erected, the pop-up top fabric looks in great condition
• There is an aerial that’ll come with the van, but it was never fitted due to the need to drill a hole to fit it
• Wherever your turn up this camper will also turn a few heads because who doesn’t love to see one of these 
• This example will look great sitting in your collection

The Mechanics 

• As you might be able to work out, this van in is near-perfect mechanical condition 
• Thanks to its restoration work it is ready for the next 50 years of its life
• During the work everything, and everything, that needed to be replaced was
• This also relates to the mechanical elements
• We have mentioned a few mechanical parts that have been replaced in the history section
• If you wish to gain an understanding of what has been replaced, then just peruse through the paperwork pictures
• Opening the rear hatch, you are presented with a very clean engine bay
• It too is painted the same colour as the exterior 
• The engine itself is very clean 
• Looking at the mountain of paperwork you can see the amount of work that has gone into it
• If you go through and add up all of the invoices, you’re looking at just over £10,000 
• And this is before you include the labour cost
• Mechanically, this van is in lovely condition and just raring to go on the next adventure
