1970 California Westy. Just MOT'd.

[pete nice]

I have this for sale for my customer.

It is fresh in from the USA & is a pretty sound van. It is now registered in my name & ready to go.

I have fitted all 4 new ball joints, a steering idler pin & a recon steering box. None of which were cheap! I fitted brand new Hella H4 headlights too.
Rear lights are rewired to conform with UK regs. The indicators are in the reversing lights.

It has a strong 1600tp motor which is sweet & the gearbox is great too. It all shifts nice with no problems.
The drum brakes work fine, but not had them apart.

Only moody bits are a bit of peppering to the left hand cab floor, a finger size hole in the inner front valance & the normal battery tray temporary repair. The battery tray can be repaired easily without getting into painting the rear corner. It is isolated to the tray itself.

That's the only bad bit really. The body is all straight & doesn't need anything doing. There is a CD player to keep you amused.















The paint is not that old, so should be good for a few years to come.
You could be out camping in this, in no time at all.

Located in Chiddingfold, Surrey.

I plan on going to the DVLA on Tuesday to get it registered.

Nice van! I'm in Cranleigh and would love to see it if possible? Unfortunately I can't make an offer close to what you are looking at, but wondered if you have or know of any more around the £7500 mark? £8000 at a maximum?

Speak to Steve Walker at Eastfailia, he often has project busses in off the banana boat pretty cheap.

Watch out though, a cheap bus can bite you in the arse or ass of it's an import. I have just done over a grand on this one to get it through an MOT.

 

[pete nice]

All the paperwork is at DVLA now, so should be registered soon.

 

[pete nice]

I have a log book now, just waiting for the tax disc to arrive.

Not sure why it wasn't with the log book, That's DVLA for you...

 

[pete nice]

I now have the log book in my name.

A new tax disc & new number plates.

It is now on the road!

 

[pete nice]

Still got this...

 

[pete nice]

Uncovered it today & it started with the minimum of fuss. Pretty good as it's been sat for a while.

Any interest?

 

[Martin B]

Hi can you send some more Pictures

 

[pete nice]

I have lots of photo's now if anyone else wants them.

 

[pete nice]

Still got this.

The new season will be here sooner than you think.

 

[pete nice]

New year, new van?

 

[garytype2]

Hi Pete.
I hate the colour scheme and I think think this why this van is not sold. You say it is a USA import but what state? In view that I may have to repaint (£2500) what is your best price? Please PM me if more appropriate.

Regards Gary

It's a California van.

Price is as pretty much as low as it's going to get.
