The Appeal
The trick when buying a camper is to find one that suits your style but also works in modern traffic. This tastefully restored Kombi ticks both boxes, largely thanks to its 1.9L Type 4 engine and useful upgrades, including power steering.
Finished in fetching ‘gelato’ light green - reportedly a Morris Minor colour - with pop top, roof rack and well arranged, comfortable cabin it is in good condition inside and out. Neat features include very comfortable Porsche cream leather front seats, rock and roll bed, full electrics and even a classic-style DAB radio.
Within the last year the van has been fully serviced and equipped with a new carburettor kit. It is a characterful van that looks like it will get you to site without exhausting you and your passengers along the way.
