Bailey our 1963 VW Splitscreen is reluctantly for sale. This camper was extensively upgraded by specialists builder as we wanted the classic look but the comfort and safety to enjoy the drive. It had covered 9000 miles since. We have other vehicles and with a young family are not getting to use them all as we would like so we are reluctantly putting Bailey up for sale.
The upgrades were carried out using VW specialist upgrades and only genuine VW parts. This vehicle has wanted for nothing and only the best parts have been used.
