Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 455 votes
We are offering for sale our much loved 1975 camper van. The van started life in the more sunny climes of Australia and was imported to the UK in 2009 where it was given a fresh lease of life by G'Day Kombis. We bought the van from G'Day in the spring of 2010 and have had three wonderful years camping and touring with her.
Exterior

Being an Australian van it has the rare combination of being right hand drive and rot free. Since owning the van only one panel has seen a welders torch with the rest being original - the chassis is rock solid and was wax-oiled to keep it that way and has never been driven on salted roads.  With the exception of the front (see below) the exterior body work is as it came from Oz. a few minor dings and two dents (front passenger door and rear panel underneath engine door). The paintwork is in good condition and features an Australia only colour 'Martini Olive' - this is a striking green colour which is a rare sight on British roads. The front and rear bumpers were powder coated by G'Day as were the wheels. All doors and openings have had new seals.
In 2011 we noticed some rust peeking out underneath the windscreen seal and upon investigation we discovered the top lip (bottom of the windscreen) had rusted excessively and needed attention. The front bulge and windscreen lip were professionally replaced by Absolute VW in Castle Donnington and the whole front panel including the front section of the roof were repainted. The rest of the van was checked for any other hidden horrors and was given a clean bill of health.

Interior
The cab has had a new headlining. recovered and refurbished seats. new seat belts. the dash was repainted and an oil temperature gauge fitted along with a new radio/cd head unit which also has an aux in for iPod/iPhone etc. New mats and kick panels complete the cab leaving it looking like new.

The main living area is kitted out with custom built units that offer mountains of storage space as well as a three ring gas hob and sink unit including a neat cupboard for the gas bottle. Sleeping accommodation is comprised of a three quarter width rock and roll bed which has had new coverings and foam offering a comfortable double bed. a pop top provides another double bed (pop-top canvas new and also new coverings and foam) and a cab hammock gives a single bed (also bought new in 2010). The rear seat has two three point seat belts and a central lap belt allowing three to travel safely in the back. We've camped with 2 adults. 3 children and a dog in here along with all our gear!
A leisure battery powers the interior lighting and accessory sockets and features a split charge system that keeps it topped up when driving. Mains hookup is also provided for more heavy duty power requirements.
The vinyl interior panel on the inside of the sliding door is currently being replaced and will be included in any sale.
Engine & Transmission etc.
The engine is original and has never given a moments trouble and leaves my driveway nice and clean (no oil leaks!) and has had an immobiliser fitted. Power from the engine is superb and cruises along happily returning approx. 25 Mpg. All of the rubber connects have been replaced and all the wiring tidied up. The camper has been given a full professional service every 12 months.  Gear changes are smooth and distinct.  During our ownership all shocks have been replaced along with new track rod arms. bearings and bushes. The brakes are in perfect working order and despite her size and weight. stops on a sixpence.
Mileage shown is in KM.

During our ownership we have spent over £5500 with VW professionals to keep this camper in first class condition - anything and everything that needed replacing has been!
Our camper is offered for sale at £16. 50 and has been recently MOT'd (expires March 2014) and is taxed to the end of July 2013. It is also has a front roof rack which is included in the sale (as seen in the camping picture). We also have an Outwell Country Road awning (sleeps 2 + lounge area). a three way fridge. sun canopy and various other camping goodies which can be negotiated as part of the sale. Whilst we're sad to see her go. this is a cracking camper maintained to the highest standards and is fully equipped ready to go on any adventure you want. We have loads more photos. paperwork etc. so any questions please just ask. The camper can be viewed by appointment by calling Chris on 07989 439225.
