All i can say is don't panic buy.

Dubs4sale.com is a good site and also use the autotrader web site. An early SO69 sold on the first site a few days back for £4k.

Through experience it may be best to stretch your budget a liitle more if possible as you will often save money in the long term if you have to get work done for you.

A little more than you may want to pay, but if you don't ask you never know.

Try the kieft and klok boys, there is a link at the top of the forum pages.

They often have early bays for sale at a good price. And they will always email you back with honest replies and as many photos as you want.

Definately worth a look......good luck in your search!

I have 3 early bays coming in from Austria soon, pretty solid and prices start from £3.5k with MOT. One is a 68 double slider model.

 

[mattyd72]

They do exist you just have to look, I got my deluxe for £2300 two years ago, which I thought was a bit much at the time , especially when my previous two buses were pre boom prices!! ( under a grand, oh happy days )

Good luck on your search

[BigG]

i got my 71 devon for £3K at the start of the summer, doesnt need any work but giving it a lick of paint anyway, mint interior and engine is perfect.

So you you can find bargains, still.

 

[smudge]

Wayne from volksheaven is currently out in the states for the next 4 or so weeks so if you contact them with your price and spec he may be able to locate something for you.
