Imported in 2006 from the US and bought by us later that year. Resprayed exterior due to sunbleaching, in original Savannah Beige. New interior in birch ply and red leatherette seats with white piping. It's a '69 deluxe early bay, so chrome strips all round, rear heated window (which needs connecting up), and over rider bumpers. Body work was solid when we bought it, save for the battery tray refit due to acid leakage, and some minor repair work near the rear starboard wheel arch - looked like it had had a small scrape with something in the past. The engine was knackered so recently fitted a Laurie Pettit (stock 1600 twin carb with oil bath), less than 10,000 miles ago - runs like a dream and very tidy. Rock and roll double bed, space under the cupboard behind the passenger's seat to fit a Just Kampers's three-way portable fridge (those cube things). Regular work by Absolute VW until the past year or two - now I just take it to the local garage for MOT etc as it's pretty much solid in terms of mechanics. Work that could do with doing? Rear window has rust developing on the lower window ridge, which is leaking. Front window has rust starting on the lower window ridge. Sliding door has it starting on the bottom. Those are the main points. There are the usual small spots on the body work. Reason for selling? It's a tin top, it's not used for camping in anymore, and it's just wasted being with us when it could be enjoyed by someone who'll use her.
It's a solid and extremely honest bus that needs a bit of TLC. No belly pans hiding nasties, wax oyled underneath when we bought her. She runs well, mechanically great, and we've always had done what's needed to be done.
Asking £13,000 ono including extra bits and bobs - large roof rack, drive away awning, spare wheel and cover, skirt to stop dog escaping under the bus in the night, windscreen privacy shield. Obviously tax exempt, and due an MOT this month, which we'll get her through so sold with 12 months MOT.
Photos can be found here - I've just photographed everything so you can see what she's like. Any questions just PM me or call me on 0794 190 5796. We're in south Derbyshire.
