1974 Beautiful Beryl is looking for a new home For Sale
This van lived in California from new and is solid throughout, in a way no UK based camper could be, given our climate and grit habit.
After import Beryl (her name and colour, Beryl Green) was given a thorough restoration at an expense of £16, 000 by her previous owner.
The work (and all work since) carried out by Spencer and co at the old dub shop (ODS) - details above
She's had regular low milage use since and has gotten a little rough around the edges, interior styling is minimal and can be adapted to either restore to a classic look Camper or given a modern edge.
Any investment in this vehicle in customisation will be money well spent. Someone with basic knowhow and a few spare weekends could really polish up the diamond in the rough and push the value up quite easily to the £20k+ range
I have neglected upkeep and that's why i'm selling in 'as used' condition. This van is my daily driver currently but I have been diagnosed with ME/ CFS and hence the sale. I have another van that will be a future project but I have to let Beryl spread her wings and give someone else the joy of her company.
I will not wax the van. I will not clean it specially for viewing. Come and see it as it is. Naked. Honest. Solid. Starts every time.
The Good:
2 complete key sets.
Steering wheel and wheel clamps
MOT & Tax exempt (avoid MOT at your own peril)
Drives beautifully, turns heads and gets smiles. Truly gives me joy.
Rolling roaded 2. 0 Type 4 engine sounds AWESOME
Finish this van interior to your own specification, or leave it and use as is.
Reupholstered seats are top class.
100% ready to go
Lots of great technical specifications, see below
Great mechanically and sound bodywork
Lovely paint job at restoration but been neglected. Minor work will yield huge results.
MOST OF ALL: This camper will hold value added to it
The Bad:
Key barrel of passenger door is in the glovebox (ODS to sort)
Roof legs needs a couple of fixing bolts (ODS to sort)
Radio is crap. Never worked well, never needed so never replaced.
Squeaky windscreen wiper.
Interior fixtures and fittings need updating or classic restoration. Or leave it. Ready to go.
Superficial rust and touch ups. Cosmetic 1st signs.
Spiderweb hairline paint crack on engine flap
chrome bits have corroded (they always do if not looked after) but all minor expenses
Couple of self tapping screws needed in pop roof leg (ODS to sort)
A little leaky underneath at times. Occasionally appears on MOT but not always.
Oh.... no internal heating but that's par for the course
