From
before I bought it:
· 2.1 Genuine VW reconditioned engine low mileage, (01.09.09) Laurie Pettitt (one of Britain's best engine builders – try Googling him if his name's not familiar to you!) refinished with twin Dellorto carburettors professionally fitted by T3 Centre Guilford AKA SJD Motor Services (Ivan McCutchon, Editor of “Camper and Bus” has his bus serviced by them). it pulls like a train!Serviced annually.
· Full width genuine VW Bluestar Rock and Roll bed (the only model RR bed VW made with head restraints), installed using bluestar side panels for a snug fit
· Genuine Audi 17” alloy wheels (A6 Quattro) in very good condition (re-badged VW) stamped with Audi Logo – not weak copies. Includes a matching 5th alloy spare wheel. Lazer set up (castor, camber, tracking - Denmead Tyres) for even tyre wear, professionally fitted using Brickwerks kit (29.05.07 Dave Lashly)
· Lowered a sensible 45mm, with new springs and shock absorbers all round (JK) 20.06.07, PR Vehicle Repairs
· Tinted rear windows; professional film used
· Passenger Swivel Seat (Bluebird £160 version – specific to T3)
· Twin sliding doors
· Usual Caravelle refinements including Captain’s seats, additional air vents in rear, insulated headlining.
· Genuine Westfalia Swan-Neck tow bar
· Reversing sensors
· Lights on alarm
· Professional fuel system overhaul - tank drain and de-sludge, complete replacement of breather tubes, Waxoyle top of tank, new petrol pump (VW City, Portsmouth, 26.01.08)
· Cooling system completely overhauled professionally by T3 Centre Guilford (01.09.09)
· New, heavy duty, larger capacity radiator (from Brickwerks) fitted – much more cooling than the standard one from eg JK
· Rear compartment professionally carpeted in black over underlay over ply over thick Karrimat type insulation.
· Outside temp probe with dash mounted gauge
· new tailgate gas struts.
· New Starter Motor 2008
· New petrol pump 2008
· New anti-roll bar bushes 2008 (All VW City Portsmouth),
· Fake Smart Car alarm; a red LED mounted on the dashboard shroud automatically flashes when the bus is left, it draws virtually no current but gives the impression of an active car alarm
· Comprehensive receipt collection showing investment of £1000s
· The RR Bed has a small stitched repair and the Captain’s chair armrests are worn so have small holes in the fabric.
I believe the previous owner only had this for a short time, and he had purchased it from the guy in Portsmouth.
What I have had done since 2012:
- Have had engine rebuilt, sounds awesome with the Dells.
- Added under dash, down lighting.
- Has leisure battery and split charge relay with 12v socket, voltmeter and usb charger point hooked up to it.
- Handmade memory foam mattress for rear.
- Handmade leather steering wheel cover.
- Replaced heater blower motor.
- Fitted new springs, still a 45 drop.
- waxoyl sprayed the underneath.
- Replaced Windows, they are now green tinted ones. except offside door slider window and quarter glass. I have replacement quarter glass that open but need restoring a tad before fitting.
- New steering rack bushes and ARB bushes fitted.
- Had all lower sill panels repaired or replaced and have replacement panels left over, that weren't needed at the time 2017. Have pics of restoration and respray.
- Resprayed 2017. Still in lovely condition but a little seem rash starting to appear.
- New tyres all round.
Dry stored in garage. MOT'd till end of December. looking for £5500 Welcome to sensible offers. |
