hi posting my friends 68 earlybay for him its a great van

Early Bay tin top for sale . Camper conversion based on a De Luxe Californian import, LHD 1968.
This is a lovely Bus in Montana red I bought this 2 years ago as an empty shell so all the work has been done since then with very little use over that time other than for several holidays. She is kept covered when not on the road.
The only welding ever done has been a replacement battery tray which seems always to be needed even when the bus has spent all its life in a dry climate.Everything else is original and solid.Its Mot'd to next February and of course is tax exempt.She went straight through her Mot without even an 'Advise'.
She drives great and has never let us down. in the last 15 months we have toured Ireland, Cornwall and London area. It has a "Gold" replacement 1600 engine (came with the van) and a Webber Twin choke Progressive Carb.
Some other things done are....
Porsche driver and passenger seats give a comfortable driving experience.
Electronic ignition
Alternator conversion
Replacement Reconditioned Steering box
Inertia reel seatbelts
VDO Oil Temperature Gauge gives peace of mind
Scat Quikshift gearchange
Mild Lowering front and back
New Wheel Drums all round
New brake shoes all round
New headlining
New Sunvisors and hinge covers
Sony Radio/CD Player with Mp3 Connection
Twin Speakers in Rear.
New Main Battery
New Leisure Battery and fused sockets
Twin Charging system
240 Volt Hook-Up with circuit breaker and sockets
Window rubbers replaced all round
New seals on sliding door, rear hatch and engine lid

Camping wise there is a full width rock and roll bed , an original Devon cooker box which can be lifted out when not needed or for awning /Outdoor use and an original devon table (Both rare items).Privacy comes from a set of Thermo screeens for inside the windows which also prevent condensation, keep warmth in in Winter and Heat out in Summer. There is also a Fiamma 2 bike rack which easily took our Mountain Bikes.
A Just Kampers cover will also be included in the sale.
Altogether this is a really nice ready to go van with a solid body and reliable mechanics which is now ready for another 40 years.
