Due to the current economic situation, and a resulting house move I'm afraid the van has to go to fund the deposit. :-(
The van is a 1970 Westy pop top, with a full westy interior (re-trimmed) and standard 1600 single port engine, imported from the states by Deadubs in Nottingham last year. As such it is in rock solid condition with only a minor repair to the battery tray on its arrival on these shores. Its got 6 months MOT and 9 months tax (Tax exempt of course!) and was valued for insurance purposes for £14,000. It's showing 28,000 miles for what that is worth, but I have no History from the states.
It's been re-sprayed in a near Montana Red at some point in the states (originally it was White), and it's not the best job ever, but gives the bus loads of patina, and while not rat look, it is an original unmolested van, and i love the way the stickers and paint have faded, and the slightly pony pin-striping!
It's got an adjustable front beam, and lowered 2 splines at the back, so you could restore it back to stock height if you wanted.
I'm after £12,250 or nearest offer.
Full Details;
Good Bits
Rock solid van, under sealed in March this year with no rust at all underneath.
New rubbers on the front screen and some of the windows.
Full Westy interior (except from the buddy seat) and re-trimmed this year in brown vinyl and corduroy with matching curtains (left over material also included). No splits or tears in any of the seats. Spice Rack, sink, tap and cool box all present.
Dark wood effect vinyl flooring in rear, rubber matt set in front cab.
New fire extinguisher in front cab
3/4 Rock and Roll bed.
New roof Canvas fitted last year.
New double bed in roof fitted this year to provide comfy sleeping for 4
Standard 1600cc single port engine. Just had new Alternator/Belt etc with bill to prove. Done over 3000 miles this year with only 1 breakdown ( alternator)
Recent Brake service
Gearchange one of the best I've driven
3 point seat belts in the front, 2 lap belts in the rear.
New leisure battery (3 month old) with split charge system newly installed. This powers the stereo, rear 12v power point and 240v plug under rear bench.
New Sony Xplode head unit which houses I-pod/usb behind actual head unit, connected to new Fli front speakers in front kick plates.
New front aerial
Red repaint gives the bus some great patina, but it's not for those who like them immaculate and shinny!
Panels are really straight and solid.
Recent starter battery, no problems with it starting.
New rear CV joints just fitted.
Recent Brake service, means the Drums pull it up no problem.
Gutters and Roof are in brilliant condition with no rust.
Electric screen wash.
US style bumpers and overiders
Bad Bits
Horn doesn't work
Rumbling coming from a rear wheel/driveshaft.
( i should have both of these sorted if I get a chance, before the van goes)
Some bubbling under the windscreen rubber.
Small hole in the bottom of the drivers side door.
2 small screw holes in the front clip where the US plate was previously screwed.
Tap doesn't work on the sink, and its not plumbed in.
As mentioned above the paint has had a touch up pen round it while in the states!
I've taken photo's of these areas and are attached below.
You can get me on my mobile 07875458228 or through a PM on here.
Thanks for looking
