Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.05) based on 285 votes
For sale here is a lovely 1968 Tin Top. 'low light' camper van. It is not in A+ condition. but is a great camper. well loved and care for- I'm selling it to buy a yacht! It has an assessed insurance value of £15500 with a certificate. Lowered 4 inches and turns heads where ever she goes. She is 46 years old so don't expect a perfect vehicle at this price. a perfect restored 1968 would cost an lot more than this is up for! 
Body Body had was restored about 6 years ago by the previous owner who had it resprayed in the blue/ white you see here. There are receipts from Dubmonkeys for around £10K for the work and it had numerous new panels as part of the work. The paint work is not perfect now and there are a few stone chips and small scratches. there are also some small rust spots starting to come through in usual places but nothing bad. There are also a few small patches welded on the floor. Chassis is solid and not rotten and has been looked after. New hand brake. last owner renewed all the braking system (drums all round)
Interior Interior is in good original condition and consists of 3/4 bed. buddy seat. nbsp;original cooker (which is brilliant!!). and set of draws below the bed. I have recently redone all the door/ body cards in white vinyl. Dashboard is a little patchy. front seats are not original but are comfy high back seats ideal for long journeys! 
Engine 1600 twin port unit. top end rebuild last year consisting of new heads. cylinders. pistons. 009 dizzy. leads. coil. pulley wheel. new clutch. new pushrod tubes. oil temp gauge fitted and oil temp dipstick fitted as well. Gear box had oil changed at same time. No oil leaks from the engine which is a miracle on these! Has had heat exchangers removed for J Pipes (exchangers will be included if you want to change back). Empi Quiet Pack Exhaust. Fan housing changed for non- vented )better cooling)- I don't use the heating as it only goes out in the summer. so decommissioned it- but all parts come with it to change back.  
Good Bits She's a '68! RHD Piles of receipts for work over the years kept garaged for years solid chassis nice original parts Tax free insurance costs me £80 per year engine is spot on and starts first time every time after rebuild Oil temp is spot on (gauge to keep an eye on it!) rebuilt engine Good paint job 
Bad bits A few little dings and scratches etc on body- nothing bad but not A+ perfect Front beam had small amount of welding for MOT- no big deal. but I have a spare beam Interior is good and usable but not perfect Odd patch here and there but nothing major- bodywork is fine as is the chassis as far as you can see Hub Caps a bit rusty (chrome has worn off)
In all I will be gutted to see her go. only had her a year (previous owner had her for about 15) but I have fallen in love with a boat! 
No dreamers. tyre kickers. test pilots etc give me a call if you are genuinely interested. Its a thing of beauty and will last for years to come and go up in value.

Wow, so I just googled this reg on the off chance because my Dad used to own this. I have pictures of it at our home in Bristol from when I was around 11. I'm now 45! It used to be a light blue with a white top which my Dad sprayed. I remember the sign on the front getting stolen. We had a lot of fun in this old bus. Great to see it is still going. Best wishes for the sale.
