This van has served us well for trips all around England and Wales and will offer days of fun filled smile inducing road trips for the new owner. Reluctant sale to fund home extension.

A real head turner in excellent solid condition following a full bare metal restoration 7yrs ago. US import, left hand drive model. Stored in a garage at all times when at home. Road tax and MOT exempt but the vehicle is maintained and serviced by a local VW specialist to ensure it is fit and safe for road use. 100s of receipts from the full restoration and ongoing
improvements/maintenance. AA/RAC or independent inspections are most welcome.
