Hi, toying with selling my Oz import deluxe microbus/day camper which I've owned for a couple of years. I love it but I'm just not getting nearly enough use out of it. Barn stored, she only been used by me a handful of times. Just about to start work on the house so thinking we might get more use out of a crew cab - low light of course!.
She's a deluxe so has the chrome belt line trim (all there), vent trim, bumper trim, clock, two tone door cards etc...
The van is completely original. Never welded and wearing her original paint (Safari Green) apart from a repair to a ding just in front of the neaside rear arch. She's running on the original 1600 single port engine, solex 30 pict 2 carb, electric iginition, desert condition airfilter, beetletwin exhaust... She has servo brakes so stops very well. 45,000 on the clock - probably been round once although my mechanic said it could be actual given the state of the original brake pipes etc... No history with the van unfortunately.
The interior is original seating 8. Managed to source the very rare ZProducts hinges that allow the standard rear seat to fold down into a bed. The van is therefore not just great for ferrying family and friends around it can be used for camping without having to lose the middle seat. Also have a westy style cab bunk. New inertia seat belts all round (except middle two lap belts). Original Blaupunkt radio.
Headlinging has a couple of small holes. Now has original seats up front. Rear seats in very good condition. Window seals are all good with the exception of the quarter lights - I have replacements. Seal for sliding door a little perished but again have replacement.
No rust except for a small pach of surface rust on the belt line at the rear nearside window - put some Ankor Wax on as wanted to keep all original. There is the odd small scratch and ding but amzing condition for age. The top layer of paint has flaked off a patch on the front panel where I spilt some detergent - long story! - just needs blending in. I had planned to make good the ding by the sliding door mentioned prevously. The is a odd little crease on the nearside rear air intake - harldy visible. Other than these minor imperfections there is no work required to the body work. Waxoiled underneath. Mechanically sound - ready to roll.
Nearside corner trim now fitted
Original single port engine. New electric ignition with Bosch Blue Coil. Replace pancake filter with original Oz spec oil bath filter.
Unbeliveably clean underneath - clear waxoiled for protection
Z Product hinges from the States transform rear seat into double bed.
Looking for £7500. Wanted to see whether any fellow earlybayer would be interested prior advertising more widley or dare I say it sticking it on ebay (did you see how much the LHD resto deluxe went for last week!). On the hunt for a solid crew cab - would consider part exchange.
Cheers Tim
