The Appeal

Say hello to Daisy, one of the brightest campers we’ve had the pleasure of consigning in some time. The name is appropriate because Daisy has a yellow and white colour scheme that is as welcoming as any summer trip to the beach.

A comprehensive renovation across the bodywork, mechanicals - including a new reconditioned engine - and interior in 2021 means that Daisy is in great condition. The van has covered less than 2,000 miles since that work was completed. The bright interior is a particular delight, the versatile pop top layout - with two bunks - enhanced by new vinyl and foams, heated front seats, high-end stereo with eight speakers and even disco lights that groove with the music!

There are some light cosmetic points to note, but with significant recent maintenance and improvement, Daisy looks ready to use and enjoy. The very smart, practical interior is one of this van’s key plus points - and, of course, that stand-out colour scheme. We wish Daisy well on her future adventures.

The vendor tells us:

“Daisy would be a fabulous addition to a family that is looking for fun and adventures but who wants to be warmer than in a tent! She has a gas heater and thermostat to stay warm when parked. A hob and grill so you can make the best breakfast you’ll ever taste. And she even has heated front seats, eight speakers and secret disco lights that dance to music!

“She is a joy to drive, starts first time every time. It is great fun to drive; getting anywhere is a happy experience, and you can’t help but feel happy driving the van. I hope she brings her new owner as much fun and enjoys a wonderful new chapter with people who love and respect her.”
