FOR SALE 1979 VW TYPE 2 TIN TOP/DAY VAN/CAMPERRIGHT HAND DRIVEIMPORTED FROM SOUTH AFRICA IN DECEMBER 2012 BY MYSELF WITH ALL THE PURCHASE DOCUMENTSAND SUPPORTING DOCS TO SHOW ALL TAXES AND IMPORT DUTIES PAIDBEEN SITTING WITH ME 'GARAGED' FOR OVER A YEAR AND I SIMPLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TODO ANYTHING WITH IT AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE A COUPLE OF MEXICAN SPLIT WINDOWS COMING OVER SO I NEED THE ROOMTHIS BUS STARTS AND DRIVES AND HAS A NEW MOT UNTIL FEBRUARY 2015 WHEN IT FIRST CAME INTO THE UK I HAD IT MOT'D AND SERVICED WITH A BILL FOR OVER £1100 TO GET IT UP TO SCRATCH ITS DONE NO MORE THAN 20 MILES SINCE THENI HAVEN'T REGISTERED IT IN THE UK AS I DIDN'T WANT TO ADD AN OWNER TO THE LOGBOOK SO THE NEW OWNER WILL HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS. A SIMPLE PROCESS NOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS AN MOT AND ALL THE PAPERSTHIS ISN'T YOUR USUAL 'ALREADY BEEN RENOVATED AND NEEDS DOING AGAIN BUS' ITS ACTUALLY QUITE ORIGINAL BUT DOES HAVE ALL THE USUAL COSMETIC ISSUESTHAT WILL NEED DOING DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT. YOU COULD JUST REGISTER IT TAX IT AND USE IT AS A RAT LOOK BUS!CURRENTLY IN THE BACK IT HAS FITTED A CORNER SOFA LAYOUT FOR DAY VAN USAGE BUT IT ALSO COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL BROWN MICROBUS SEATS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURESTHE FLOOR HAS BEEN INSULATED AS HAVE THE SIDE WALLS AND NEW MDF PANELS ARE FITTED BUT NOT PERMANENTLY (SEE PICS)THE PLAN WAS TO GET THIS BUS SORTED AS A DAY VAN BUT OTHER VEHICLES AND COMMITMENTS ALWAYS GOT IN THE WAYSO ITS TIME FOR ME TO CUT IT LOOSE AND LET SOMEONE ELSE HAVE A GO WHO HAS THE ENTHUSIASM AND TIME TO FINISH IT. ITS CURRENTLY RUNNING A 2 LITRE AIR COOLED ENGINE THAT MY LOCAL VW GUYS TELL ME IS POSSIBLY A T 25 LUMP

IT GIVES IT A BIT EXTRA POWER AND SOUNDS SWEET AND ALWAYS STARTS!!

THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BUS IS GOOD BUT COULD DO WITH A GOOD UNDERSEAL TO PROTECT IT BEFORE IT GETS OUT ONTO THE UK ROADS BUT IT HASN'T GOT LOADS OF WELD PATCHES OR ANYTHING AS ITS AN IMPORT FROM SOUTH AFRICA.

THE BODYWORK COULD DO WITH THE USUAL REPAIRS. PASSENGER STEP. BOTH REAR QUARTERS. FRONT PANEL. REAR GUTTERS AND ABOVE THE REAR DOOR BUT NOTHING A DECENT DIY MECHANIC OR BODY REPAIR GUY COULDN'T FIX AS THE BASE IS SOLID TO ATTACH REPAIRS TO.

MY PAINTSHOP QUOTED ME £1700 TO FILL AND PAINT THE WHOLE BUS AND MAKE IT LOOK AS GOOD AS NEW BUT THAT WAS TO FILL NOT REPLACE WITH METAL.

THE INTERIOR CARPETS HAVE BEEN REMOVED WITH A VIEW TO REPLACING THEM WITH A JUST KAMPERS SET (£165) BUT NEVER GOT ROUND TO IT IT HAS FOUR GOOD TYRES AND REALLY DOES DRIVE WELL!

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A 1979 35 YEAR OLD BUS SO PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT A NEW ONE IT IS A REALLY GOOD BASE PROJECT FOR SOMEONE THAT ISN'T A COMPLETE PIG WITH METAL WORM THROUGHOUT!

I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE BUT WOULD PREFER ANY SERIOUS BUYERS TO COME AND SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES THEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING.

IF YOU WANT MORE PHOTO'S PLEASE E-MAIL ME AND I WILL SEND YOU SOME info hartsmotors. com

DONE RIGHT THESE BUSES ARE ONLY GOING IN ONE DIRECTION PRICE WISE SO GRAB YOURSELF A BARGAIN THAT OWE'S ME MUCH MORE THAN I'M ASKING FOR IT!!!
