The Appeal

This pretty ‘74 camper comes to market at the perfect time. The weather is getting ready for breaks and road trips and it is fresh from a £16,000 restoration. For the buyer, it is a great opportunity.

The restoration work took two years and involved fully renovating the bodywork which was brought back to factory-standard condition. The condition is obvious from the photographs. Inside the story is a little different, the characterful 70s interior being is very original and well kept and has wisely been retained ‘as is.’

Since completion it has been dry garaged and barely used. As such it is a rare opportunity to acquire a high quality camper where someone else has done all the hard work.
