Those of you that know me will know this is with a very very heavy heart I'm selling my van after 3 years of ownership. The only reason I'm selling is I've just returned to London due to work commitments and my cost of living has doubled! Something has to give and on this occasion its the van..

Pretty much EVERYTHING has been done on my van, I'll list what comes to mind right now but I'm sure they'll be more which I'll add as I remember.

New build 1776 engine (John Walklett) with twin 36 dellorto carbs (500 miles). It has a 118 Webb cam, 90.5 B&Ps, manton rods, ex oil filter and so on...
Sensibly lowered on adjuster and one spline at the back
Total interior retrim
12 months MOT
Leisure battery
Devon cooker unit
924 rev counter
Oil/temp gauges
Whitewalls
Two roofracks
Awning
Fiamma bike rack
New ball joints at last MOT
New deluxe seals all round
Original front seats and door cards
Jailbars

The paint is 90% og paint and still in good order, the body work in completely original with zero welding! It's a solid bus that's been both under sealed and waxoiled in every cavity.
I've owned and driven a fair few Vw's now & this bus is genuinely the best I've ever driven, its drum brakes but stops real well, gears are all smooth and ride perfect if your looking for a useable vehicle.
Pictures paint a thousand words so here we are - if you'd like to view the bus I'm in the Kingston, Surrey area and available most evenings.
Price £13,500 Ono
I'm in no rush to sell this bus, like all I've spend 1000's on this bus which I don't expect to get back, I won't however entertain silly offers nor do I want to swap thank you.
