£18,500
Just completed is this lowered 78 tin top camper which we imported from the USA and restored.

The bus is a very straight and rust free example that we bought in Nevada. The dry climate has been very kind to the body and it is a great base vehicle.

We have thoroughly waxoyl coated the underside for rust prevention.

1960 Microbus project
£Sold

Another bus just in from the USA is this Mango green and Seagull grey splitscreen microbus project.

Having spent a lot of its life in Arizona the bus is in very solid condition with a really clean solid underside and minimal rust. The vast majority of the bus is still showing its original paint and with originality being more popular than ever it would be a great bus to repair the necessary areas and paint in to match the original. Loads of potential to be a great patina bus. There is a lot of paint left on this one unlike some where they are bleached and sunburnt right back to the metal.

The bus has been off the road for quite some time and therefore will need a full mechanical overhaul. No engine fitted.

Bodily the project would come on very quickly as there is very little rust and i would say including the rear arch repair needed you would be doing metal work for a few days not a few weeks. The roof is really nice and rust free, windscreen bases good, doors and engine lid solid.

A nice year model with the small round tail lights, small rear door, 6 pop outs, bullet indicators and cab bench seat (seat included). Empty in the rear.

A worthy project and a great starting point for sympathetic restoration preserving original paint or for going the whole hog and a full resto. More pictures available upon request.

1967 Walkthrough bus
£Sold

Fresh in from the USA is this original paint Sea blue and Cumulus white walkthrough microbus.

A good project bus with loads of potential. Walkthrough models are generally thought of as more desirable as you dont have to get out and walk round to get into your camping interior. Either repair the rusted areas then paint in and blend to original paint giving a solid bus with lovely patina or a good starting point for a restoration. Would be a shame to lose the originality though.

Very good rust free roof, windscreen lips, doors, front panel, arches etc. Does need sills, battery tray, one edge cab floor repair, localised cargo floor repair and some to jack points / outriggers and one area of straight chassis which is straight forward. There is a file of 116 pictures of this bus available to view just mail me for a link.

Being a 67 it has a few unique features such as the reversing lights, large radio slot in dash, 12 volt electrics as standard, dual circuit brakes as standard, larger capacity fuel tank. They make a very practical user friendly splitscreen bus. Other nice features are the 6 pop out windows, us spec overider bumper and previously mentioned walkthrough cab configuration.

No motor or rear bumper included.

1958 Original paint kombi
£Sold

Fresh in from the USA is this original paint Dove Blue pressed bumper kombi.

Just brought out from a long period of inactivity this bus is ripe for a sympathetic restoration. A prime candidate for an original patina bus.

A desirable earlier model with the pressed bumpers, small tail lights, small rear door etc. 15" bus steel wheels, bench seat, bullet indicators, glass lensed tail lights etc all present.

Plenty of original paint round the bus with lovely fade through in areas. Not too much exposed bare metal though meaning it will survive a bit better in our climate. It even still has the original white pinstripe around the body just at the lower side of the waistline.

Will need restoration to the lower body to areas which include. Sills, jack points, outriggers, centre cross members, front floor and some cargo floor. All pretty run of the mill stuff for a split bus and plenty of areas that have survived well. No visible rot under windscreen, around roof etc. Valance pretty good, front panel has some dents but isnt rusty. All panels available to repair these areas so getting it solid shouldnt be too bad.

No motor or rear bumper included.

A great starting point for a very cool bus.

Large file of over 100 pictures available to view upon request. Delivery possible.

1972 Kombi
£Sold

Just in is this ex Swedish forestry service Kombi.

An original straight bus that is complete and has been out of use for a few years and needs a wake up.

Crossover model with the majority of early bay features but with disc brakes at the front, larger 1700cc motor, towbar.... A walkthrough model with all original features in the cab. Empty in the rear ready for camping conversion.

Good chassis and generally pretty solid underside. Some rust repair needed to cab floor outer edges, a few bits of sills / arches but pretty straight forward stuff and not too extensive. More like a couple of weeks work here and there than a couple of years like some buses.

Complete original 1700cc motor with correct air filter and dual solex carbs. Previous owner stated it ran when parked. Oil looks clean and it turns freely so first indications are ok.

Other useful features ar a factory fitted Eberspacher petrol heater which will allow you to stay warm when the engines not running. Factory made towbar fitted allowing trailer to be towed safely.

A great project bus that could easily be done over the winter in time for next spring season. Complete so next to no parts hunting to do either.

Sold. Off to Scotland.

The underside has been rust treated and painted in chassis black. All new quality German window, door, boot, bonnet rubbers and chrome mouldings have been fitted.

Interior Set of new black carpets, seats have been stripped, repaired and covered using TMI quality covers that match the original. The amount of work and man hours is too much to list here ----- This is a nice reliable example of this model and drives, performs and handles well. It should last for many years. It has a new MOT and taxed till end January 2012. Any inspection welcome.

This car really offers exceptional value for money. There is no way you could get the work that has been done to this car finished to the standard it has been done to for anywhere near this price let alone buy the car with all the work completed.

1964 Splitscreen Camper

£21,995

Heres a really nice solid and original looking VW Splitscreen camper that we imported and renovated a few years back and is now being offered for sale by the owner.

Imported from a small town in Northern California in a very original unmolested but sunbleached condition then worked on to bring up to the nice condition you see here.

The camper has been in regular use over the last few years and has proven a good reliable driver. Regular servicing and maintenance have been carried out. The gearbox is the original and drives well with no noises or problems at all. The engine is a VW dealer supplied factory reconditioned unit which we do not know the mileage history of but it runs well and sounds great. A thorough brake overhaul was performed in the last few months too.

A repaint, new rubber seals, new bumpers, restored wheels with new whiteband tyres, reupholstered and padded front seats and a waxoyl coating to the underside were all carried out when it arrived here in the UK.

Internally the Camper was fitted out by Calypso campers with a modern 2 berth interior featuring custom built units housing cooker and sink plus plenty of storage. The cab area still sports its original paint to the dashboard along with all original instruments etc. New period style seatbelts were fitted too.

There are a few blemishes her and there but nothing serious. Overall a very nice classic VW camper thats ready to go. Plase contact us and well put you in touch with the seller.
