It is with great regret that we are having to sell our T2 VW "TigerLilly" 1972 crossover RHD Devon.
New job and relocation forces sale. There are more photos if required.
"TigerLilly" has been kept in dry storage and the underneath has been extremely well looked after and shows the love and care which has gone into this bus, there is no welding or filler anywhere on this bus. All of the underneath has been sprayed and coated to preserve the very good condition. The engine has also just been rebuilt (100 miles ago) as we originally had no intention of selling, this standard of engine can be bought from Vw heritage for £3,000. It is still under a 6 month guarantee and comes with many photos documenting the rebuild and relevant paperwork.
It is now running a twin carb system with larger bores and flat piston heads which is still under a 6 month warranty with the builder and easily cruises up hills around the Gower peninsular and sounds amazing!
Having recently had a full engine rebuild, new roof, floor layed, insulated and tiled, respray 3yrs ago,brand new volkswares rock n roll bed fitted, custom cushion upholstered, cabinets reconditioned, electrics, Cv joints, break overhaul, a full service and MOT(next due 08/2017) just to name a few this bus is ready for its next adventure!
Bad points; Internal roof lining requires cosmetic work, there is a small area of rust below rear tail light where battery leaked, a new tray has now been fitted and this was the next job on the list, which we have been told is a minor job and not expensive. Nothing that effects the running or mechanical works of this bus!
Any inspection before auction ends is very welcome as photos really don't do our girl justice!
Sensible offers considered for this sought after, rare, model that is great condition priced to sell.
