This has got to be one of the nicest Buses available. 100% without rust to begin with, and then totally restored to new along with a complete & original interior.

Imported from California in July, it has been at Simpsons Aircooled since then having a completed resto - It will be finished within the next 2 weeks:

Pictures speak for themselves ! :D

Here's just a summary:

Complete external strip down (California paint faded ) - The inside didn't need it! - That means windows out, all doors off, engine lid off, Westy roof off, Westy roof rack off, Bare metal where required and flattened.
New rear corners (they were dented so were replaced rather than repaired).
Complete external re-spray in Chianti Red
All new window rubbers + windscreen, engine lid, sliding door,
New UK spec lights front and back
Re-sprayed bumpers and wheels in Pastel White
New tyres all round

New 1600 twin port engine (Remtec '0' miles with 2 years guarantee)

Full MOT

Original westy interior with original flooring
Working Faucet pump and cooler
Original westy stool
Sapphire XV radio branded with 'volkswagen' logo
Loads of service history including original owners manual
Single bunk in the roof
Pop top canvass in excellent condition
Wooden Headlining in superb condition
New curtains all round
Mosquito nets on Louvre windows

A few things still to be done, but will be in the next week:
Folding Westy table will be replaced
Rear Cupboard door will be replaced
Registered in the UK (you can be 1st UK owner....!).
Front seat covers need replacing

£14,750 and ready for a show in 2010 ! 8) 8) 8)
 
Cheers Dude,

I was seriously considering keeping it and selling my Beryl Green - Even the back of the sliding door clicks shut when you lift the handle! Forgive my ignorance but I didn't even know that was a feature I'm so used to slamming them shut!

New photo's updated - will be MOT'd on Thursday.

Price reduced to £14,750 ovno
 
I popped over to see Dave Simpson in my bus today, and parked next to this one. Twins :)

This one does indeed look fantastic. Love the original wheels - just lowered a tad and it would be perfect.
