1965 VW Camper Very Rare Super Cool Swedish Panel Van For Sale

'Ernie' started out life as a milk van doing the rounds in Sweden, underwent a full professional restoration in Belgium in 2009 and was imported to the UK in 2011. The very special custom camper conversion was designed by my wife Michelle and I, and was completed by Tins Restoration and Kustoms (Cornwall) in 2013. Ernie was on the front cover of VW Camper magazine in 2015, with a 6 page article spread. Main points to note are as follows:

1. Rare LHD with windowed left cargo doors and windowed tailgate configuration.
2. Chromed US spec bumpers, front badge and Deluxe Microbus beltline trim.
3. Twin Webber Type 4 CJ 2. 1 Litre engine with Porsche fan housing (as used on the Porsche 912/ 914), refurbished in 2016, dynamo replaced with alternator, electronic ignition, bespoke under body air engine scoop and digital dash mounted engine temperature display.
4. Lowered, with period Empi Sprintstar wheels.
5. Chrome Concept Engineering steering wheel, billet Scat Shifter and rear jailbars.
6. Interior makeover including exterior grey matching dash, bench seat and rock and roll bed with ample storage. Full length headlining, sun visors, matching grey and cream panelling and chequered curtains.
7. Camper conversion including: leisure battery, full electric hook up, period Blaupunkt radio with phone/ ipod connectivity and bespoke speaker housing.
8. High end unique soft curved kitchen/ storage unit with Corian worktop, housing an electric pop-up TV/ DVD, Smev 555 Mini Grill, Waeco fridge, Can 2 burner oval hob, slow closing storage drawers and slide out table, electric control panel, LED Strip lighting and a pull out power unit including USB ports.
9. Immobiliser.
10. Brakes fully refurbished 2019.


This is a much loved outstanding specimen, only out in the dry when the temperature is in double figures and housed in our cosy carpeted, lowered ceiling garage with 3 thermostatically controlled tubular heaters and a de-humidifier! This is largely responsible for maintaining it's stunning condition. Ernie is tax exempt, in date MOT, with a full service history since restoration and all work receipts are available.

This is a very rare, real head turning practical camper - we are in no rush to sell, but would be willing to part with Ernie if he goes to a good home.
