Yer, Been going years..had a few bits off em. They get hold of some rare bits too.
Best off at shows with them. 8)
They will be at Sandown park I would imagine upstairs in the swap meet section.

I was trying to find some history on my van. Had a letter today from dvla of previous owners. It seems karmon imported it a couple years ago. I've just sent them an email to see if they can give me any more info on it

Yes, Bigbear on hear got his stunning Westy from them,
They also did some of the work...I think and sourced the parts for him.
They have been going as long as I can remember which is mid 90's.
One of the better companies IMO as dont just sell mass produced junk but good quality second hand parts.
They do most big shows and also Swapmeets. 8)

Something that rare I couldnt put a price on.

Lol yes its amazing

Early samba with a one off devon interior......not cheap but find another one like it.

Richie King (the owner) has been involved in the scene for years and likes an early Porsche too.

I have dealt with them a lot in the past and have been pleased with the service I have received, but they are a business and will want to get as much as they can. Julian Hunt, the manager is a top guy who knows his stuff. He owns a stunning 1952 dove blue panel, one of the nicest buses I have ever seen.

Hi Ive known the lads down at karrman Konnection a few years now, they brought my Bus in from the states for me. That Samba has to be seen to be believed,Ritchie King had it in his mini museum for a long time.It realy is a time warp Bus.
If you need a rare part they will do their best to locate it for you. They are not cheap but quality/rare parts seldom are.

 

[Bigbear]

Yep, karmann konnection imported my westy from Montana ,which was fairly beat up.
They then carried out all the work on her, full respray,retrimmed,lowered,serviced etc etc etc.
I'm very happy with how she turned out, they can get hold of whatever you want, and mainly original parts from the US, very friendly chaps, I dealt with Paul from start to finish and he is a top fella.

They have a fantastic collection of cars there aswell, go check the Porsches out!! They are awesome! 8)

 

[shiplee123]

So I've now sent them an email to c if they can shed any light on my bus past life. Will b interesting to c if they bother replying. I hope so

 

[Bigbear]

One thing I will say is that they wont really go out of their way to get in touch, I've been waiting on a set of over riders since December, also waiting for a curtain to be replaced as it was made the wrong way round. The only time I've heard from them is when I've rung.

Having said that, I still rate them highly.

 

[shiplee123]

Thanks for the heads up. Ill give um till end of next week then ring them.
Im very impatient lol !

They are not cheap

This ^ :lol:

KK are pretty good, but they certainly don't leave money on the table when it comes to pricing things up, and they could learn a trick or two from M7 about responsiveness and service. They're in my "good supplier - use as last resort as *FRIKKEN* expensive" category. I know I can depend on them, but unless it's a part they've repro'd or located specially I'll normally find the same cheaper elsewhere.

 

[chad]

Although I'm a relative newcomer to the scene I'ved used them a couple of times in the last few months and found the same as Fire3500.

 

[shiplee123]

Bigbear you'll be surprised they sent me a email this morning. Very quick
I think it was a chap called Andy. He said he remembers my van he rem driving it to volksworld a couple of years ago. He's gonna get his vechicle bloke to dig out any info he can find
