Description
Purchased by us after a full bare metal restoration in 2010 (photos to prove) and our summer family ever camper since.
Always garaged and maintained mechanically, regardless of cost, by the renowned VW restorer Nick Besant ever since.
Tax and MOT exempt though for safety's sake she has a continuous MOT history with 9 months remaining (until March 2027) with no advisories.
1979 so the last year of manufacture so benefiting from front disc brakes and a completely standard 1. 6 AS twin port engine with electronic ignition. Cosmetically and mechanically absolutely solid and completely reliable.
Full bulging history file from new with the original registration papers from Germany showing matching numbers.
Same key fits all doors and ignition.
All German and UK MOTs verifying the mileage as genuine at 212, 000km (133, 000 miles).

Receipts for all work done from import in 2002 including new interior (£3700) in 2011 after restoration.
Full width rock and roll bed and full width bed in the pop top so sleeps 4 in 2 double beds. Fridge freezer, electric water and sink all in perfect working order. Space for cookers and table.
6 seats and 6 seatbelts so ideal for weddings and school proms etc…

The van looks superb inside and out. It starts drives and stops without fault and has been a pleasure to own. Any inspection welcome and I don’t think you will be disappointed as we looked at some horror shows before finding Scarlett.
