Picked this up Yesterday... I know that it will divide opinions but I absolutely love it!! I have almost bought this in the past and after coming up for sale again recently I couldn't resist. It came from Kieft en Klok in the Netherlands a few years ago where it had been given a brilliant respray. There a a couple of VERY minor areas that I will address over the winter but apart from that (and the lowering/wheels) it is a very clean standard bus, benefiting from 9 seats inside with a completely original interior...
We decided as a family that we don't need a dedicated Campervan, we just wanted something fun to take for daytrips and to shows etc. Will also enter a few Show and Shines this year as well I think.....

So come on then....lets hear what you think

Looks good, a bit low on the front for my liking.

Interesting name.

Bit morbid...Kids named it after our recently deceased cat! Same colour

Cool

Nice. I'd keep the wheels, just put it back to stock height.

Far to low IMO.

Looks fab. Enjoy it.

Me likes!!

Saw this advertised and kept popping up as it was local to me. Its a beauty alright.

a-huh-huh. Thank you very much.

NICE, seen it before,great colours

Was featured in one of the popular "Aircooled bias" VW mags iirc

I love it But personally I hate that "small wheels and slammed" look (well you did ask )
imho, the wheels do look just too small, especially as part of them is lost under the arches.
Now if it where a bit nearer to std height and had a set of say Porsche alloys on it, then we are talking (Photoshop anyone?)

Different, quirky. I like it!

Well a couple of weeks into ownership and still loving it...It certainly attracts a lot of attention!!

I am expecting it to fail the MOT next week as i know it needs a few new bushes etc up front on the suspension. I am planning on softening the suspension/look at some point but still want to keep the general style as it is at the moment. I'm also in the design phase of a few interior ideas, its not going to be a camper but something that works as a good addition to a large awning/tent. I am thinking that this will become the living room as opposed to the kitchen/bedroom so will add some concealed lighting alongside a leisure battery/mains hookup. Will probably have to get a TV in somewhere for the Kids. Again, i'm planning on some kind of built in unit behind the bulkhead which can conceal the new features etc....

Plus a slide out table/bar from the rear with some lights overhead in the door and some flatpack barstools.........
