This has been an amazing van, I bought the base van 5 years ago on 103,000 miles and converted it myself. This is a “one of a kind” camper, very unique and has loads of character. The layout is perfect for chucking surfboards (well anything) in the back. What’s also great about the layout is you can park up and open the side and rear doors and get 360 views! One of the biggest issues with “rock and roll” style beds is you cannot access the van from the back and it blocks your view. There’s plenty of storage under the bed, in the kitchen cupboards, cubbyholes opposite the sofa and behind the front seats.

The van when I bought it unfortunately didn’t come with any service history, the main dealer I bought off was quite confident it was regularly serviced, however, since I’ve owned it for the last 60,000 miles it’s had a full service every year, new clutch and flywheel, replaced timing and fan belt, new radiator, disc and pads etc and all wear and tear repairs when needed. I have all the receipts. The bodywork is in really good condition for a 2008 van, there’s just the usual marks as you would expect from a used vehicle. Van is 84bhp on paper but has been professionally remapped at Pendle Performance to 147bhp at their HQ in Barnoldswick with a full health report and paperwork, I’ve had no problems, drives really well, it’s nice to have the extra power for the countryside hills!
