Fantastic, Volkswagen t2, Baywindow Westfalia Camper. California import, registered in the UK 2016. Crossover model, 1972, so front disc brakes with servo, winner! Peach of an engine, I managed to get one of the last brand new (NOT REMANUFACTURED) engines from ‘VW Heritage’ in 2017. Less than 2000 miles since, pretty much new everything, clutch, brakes, carburettor, steering box, take a look at those photos 😍.
just minor details and finishing touches to make the perfect camper. Tax & Mot free! £18,500

😢!

Alas, for it is time to bid a fond farewell to ‘Bert’ the best Hymer I ever did own, really thought this was going to be a keeper 😢.
I first bought this van in May, 2016 from a fantastically youthful, elderly German couple who were living on a narrow boat in Derbyshire!!! It was still on German plates at the time, I motd it, serviced it, registered it and promptly sold it to a friend of mine (didn’t really want to sell it back then either!). As luck would have it I ended up buying him
back the following year and have spent the last two years using and improving him. He now looks and drives ACE!!
Bert has covered just 150,478 km that’s 93,502 miles and is Mot’d until 27/06/20. Mechanically excellent and comes with a huge history file, it’s always been very well maintained. Recent tyres, batteries and cam belt 28/07/17 (148,154). The chassis is also excellent!
The interior has been tastefully refurbished - new dash in a lovely retro vinyl (and soundproofed!), front and rear seats re upholstered to a very high standard. Nice check curtains. New main skylight (ouch!). Comes with a bike rack and a motorcycle rack!
Not perfect but lovely, unique, clean and everything works. You could drive this anywhere tomorrow, it’s ready for the NEXT ADVENTURE!!!
There you go, Hymer 544, Peugeot 2.5 turbo diesel, manual, 6 seat belts, she’s a beauty and yours for £12,750

Up for sale goes this rather gorgeous s550 Mercedes Hymer, 2.9 diesel, 5 speed manual. First sold in this country way back in 2004 by Brownhills, the van then had 113,886 km on the clock and now shows only 131,712 km ( that’s just 81,842 miles!! ).
It’s taken a great deal of time, effort and expense to the van looking and driving this good. Not perfect but LOVELY, UNIQUE, CLEAN AND EVERYTHING works!
Mechanicals - flushed out the fuel tank and cleaned the blocked up tank filter (very common problem in these), new starter battery, new set of glow plugs, and serviced.
The interior has been tastefully refurbished - new dash which is a lovely retro vinyl (also soundproofed), new cab carpet and mats, and a bit of cool wood pile wall paper to complete the look! Nice rubber tiles on entrance to the van. I’ve replaced the horrid deep s**g carpet that was on base of the rear seats with brown vinyl and all the seat cushions have been reupholstered too. New Curtains but not yet fitted/hung!? The main skylight has been replaced, all vents and windows resealed. Also replaced the ‘Truma’ heater igniter, serviced the fridge and the van comes with a new gas safety certificate!!
I’ve not listed everything but I reckon you get the picture, it drives fantastically on air ride suspension and I would keep it if I had less kids!!!! ADVENTURE AWAITS £13,500

"What's love got to with it?" Erm, well not a lot it would seem! Despite spoiling 'Tina' with cruises to far off climes, festival frolics and taking her up, and indeed down many a Derbyshire Dale, 'Tina' has gone and left me! Gone, gone, off with some fancy Dan Osteopath from Oxfordshire!!! I really am a little bit sad but also happy, 'Tina' couldn't have picked a nicer chap than Oliver Cox to run off with! I am pretty sure Tina, Oliver and his lovely family will enjoy a most excellent adventure together. x

Not too sure if I should be doing this but up for sale goes our 'Tina', (Hey, it's a Turner thing!!). This van has been ace, taking us on most excellent adventures including a recent 4 week trip to Northern Spain where there definately 'aint no mountain high enough' for our Tina, even in the 'Picos de Europa', taking it all in her leisurely stride!! She is a sexy beast of a van, starts first time every time, uses no oil, no water, and comes with absolutely everything you'd ever need in a camper - sleeps 6, heating, hot and cold water, toilet, shower, kitchen and bathroom sink, fridge, x2 radio/cd/usb, satelite, solar panel, roof box, cycle rack, motorbike rack etc, etc!!! It's had a bit of a makeover with new Upholstery in the rear not stinky original stuff, new dash and sound insulation, new door cards and new cab carpet. Mechanically we've fitted a new radiator, new Bosch battery, re set the throttle and cleaned out the fuel tank filter. She's a 1990, 2.9 diesel, manual gearbox, 155,178 km (96,000 mile) on the clock and MOT'd until 29 March 2018. A real beauty and all yours for £16,000!

SOLD! Dora's gone exploring north of the border! Raiders flew down from Edinburgh to East Midlands Airport, snaffled their prize, turned and headed for the hills! It was great to meet John and Chris Houston, I hope you and your families have lots of fun with your new Hymer.

We’ve been working away on this old Hymer B544 (Dora!) for quite a while now and I am glad to say she’s finally ready for a new home and fun adventures! Old ‘Dora’ has been reborn courtesy of a Happy Camper ‘pimp over’, gone is the ‘retirement home’ look of the tired old interior, no more ‘dead dog’ dashboard, brown carpet and stinky old upholstery, it’s all been replaced with a very groovy, cunningly crafted, retro styled interior!

A brilliant van for a young family, sleeps 5, 5 seat belts, all the usual Hymer refinements – toilet, shower, hot and cold running water, gas hob, big fridge, heater, wind out awning, bike rack, need I go on? An ace van, lots of new parts fitted including brake overhaul, engine and gearbox mounts, drive shaft, x 2 batteries, x2 sky lights, long MOT and new gas safety certificate. Price £12,000.

Rallentate il video all'incirca 20 volte ed avrete piu' o meno il tempo reale che ci abbiamo messo ;) . L'aiuto di mio figlio é stato fondamentale per perder...

I couldn't resist it to be honest as I love the van and know it inside out, the plan was to keep it and use it to showcase the campervan furniture which we now manufacture. However, after a huge amount of thought we have decided to let it go again :( ! ). | eBay!
