….This is the finest factory conversion money could buy back in the day. This bus sleeps 4 adults with ease!! The bus was shipped to the Philippines then on to Australia. How do we know this? well we have a huge history file with the bus that came with it from Australia. The bus was a factory special order as VW did not market the Westfalia model in the U.K post This van is just lovely inside and out. The 2 litre engine pulls beautifully and the van is just a joy to drive. We have re-trimmed all of the front and rear seating and added a new pop top for good measure. The trim is all German vinyl and has been done in house. Fear not though as we have all of the original bed and seat covers as well as the original unmarked front seats as part of the price!!

….Wow. Kansas Beige/ Pastel White 1971 VW Bay Window Deluxe. Just been resprayed in original colours and has a full MOT. This vehicle does not need taxing (what a saving year on year) Just take a look at the pictures. This was produced to go to LA and has spent its life in the Washington (Oregon) area. A very very dry bus it needed just the edges of the cab area and one seat belt mounting point replacing. The belly pan reallly does protect these buses and with it being from a dry climate you just know you wont have to worry about the dreaded rust. Its running like a dream (1594 engine) has a AH code. The inside has not been touched so it a blank canvass for you. Headliner is in good condition and will just require a good clean. Its the sun roof model so no problem to fit a tilt or lifting roof if a camper is required. This has not been registered so you can be the first name on the log book in the UK. If you have been looking for a really good early bay deluxe model then look no further. Unlike some sellers I invite you to come and take a good look, bring a friend who knows bay windows, bring a mechanic. You will not be disappointed with this van. Its almost summer and Glastonbury will be here soon, what better time to get yourself a good VW Bay Window bus? No reserve and a very realistic price. Will come with a all in one back up camera and sat nav unit, which makes it safer to drive a LHD. Will also come with a electronic tyre pressure monitoring system. And……. will come with a haynes manual and a dVd/Book set extolling the virtues and the history of this iconic piece of automobilia history. If required I have a super viking roof and a old but sound danbury interior with fridge that can be purchased as add-ons. This really is one of the best you will find and will last you for years and years to come. All you have to do to make your dream come true is pop up to Liverpool and take a look, you will definitely be impressed with this bus. Why settle for a rustbucket thats been open to the british climate for years and requires mucho welding? get a sound, dry van from the US. I have lots more pics if your genuinely interested. NO RESERVE means the winning bid will WIN this glorious bus. Cash on pick up or cleared cheque/bankers draft.

Amazing Original Condition, a Very Rare Special Vehicle

….Not sure where to start….! This is our treasured VW Camper van- ‘Mr Blue’ We have owned him for 6 years & he has never let us down. Where ever we go we are stopped & asked to look at him! Beeps, flashes waves – you just have to get used to it & everyones got a smile for you. This is a ‘DEVON 21′, an anniversary edition of the Eurovette by Devon conversions, built to celebrate both Devon Conversions 21st anniversary & the Queens Silver Jubilee. Only 50 of these were ever made & a handful exist today in original condition. This special Edition is featured in a Book by David Eccles called ‘VW Camper – The inside story’ In Export Oceanic Blue & White with colour coded interior, this is totally original with the exception of the fabric which has been matched to our best abilities! It has the original Lino flooring (kept covered with carpet – so as new underneath) fridge, sink that looks like it is brand new, cooker, Original front seats in immaculate condition 9premium black plastic leatherette), Padded black vinyl door linings, superior roof lining, fantastic original stripy blue pop top with no rips or tears. Spare wheel inside rear boot area, with premium original black hard plastic cover (this was its design from new) 2kw Gas Central Heating installed under rear seat & controlled by thermostat (cosy!) Has the luxury of having a clock, which was a premium option with this edition Professional full respray in original colour done last year, so looks amazing! When this was done all new rubber seals were fitted to the doors & windows. Have all the original handbooks, paperwork & only has a genuine 83’000 miles on the clock…!!! Just had Brand New heated front windscreen fitted, although as yet the wiring has not been connected. Brand new Bosch Silver Battery just fitted ( last one only just gave out a month ago after 7 years!) New SACHS Clutch fitted by VW Maindealer (Portsmouth) We have just had replacement ‘DEVON 21′ decals made which are not shown in the photos but they are positioned on the front on each side just under the wing mirrors. I have many more pics I can email but have used up my 12 allowed already!! Starts every time, ready to go & have some amazing fun this summer – you will really be the talking point wherever you go! Whilst we have enjoyed this camper for family day trips & holidays we have always looked after it & if bought by a real enthuiast or collector it could be made into show standard. This is a completely genuine very special vehicle that will make you very proud & we will be sad to see him go. Unfortunately due to work & family commitments we are just not able to use Mr Blue as much as we would like and it is a shame to see him not being used. Please, please serious enquiries only, this camper is for somebody that knows their VW Dubs or wants something very special, I will not take any silly offers – over the years I have refused many very, very good offers for him. If you are interested please contact me to discuss & then a viewing can be arranged Call me on: 07738458253, this is a work mobile so if I don’t answer just leave your details & I will call you back as soon as I can.
