This is a 1972 Genuine Dormobile with a very original interior and a recently restored body (2007). The engine is a brand new VW 1600 with just under 10k on it to date. This vans drives as well as any you will drive and looks beautiful. This is a family camping bus ready to rock and roll.
Bodywork
All Welding and Resto Done in 2007 by Tom Roberts
Full Respray and Waxoyled
Aprilia purple over VW L90
Lot's of photo's available
As this is my daily driver there are a few small stone chips but the bodywork is basically 100% straight, rust free, and needing absolutely nothing body wise. The wheels have genuine OEM hubcaps (no cheap Brazilian crap) and the wraparound bumpers and everything else are 100 solid metal with no dents or bumps. All lights and stuff work.

The van does 65/70mph easy and 75/80mph if you really want. It doesn't overheat, it starts first time, it returns good mileage (22+) for a 1600, and it is completely reliable. The brakes work perfect (discs up front) and the steering to tight and responsive. The gear linkage couplings have been replaced and it never drops out of gear or goes into the wrong gear. There are new heat exchangers that work excellently and she runs on fully synthetic oil with no leaks or issues. Everything on this van is stock or in the spirit of running stock at least so all parts are available in Otto or GSF.
Camping & Interior
Original and lovely Dormobile D4/6 interior - sleeps 4, seats 6. I have gone on a mission to replace or repair this interior to the standard it is at. There are now two original Dormobile buddy seats, a genuine Dormobile table, a genuine Dormobile icebox (keeps food cold for 4 days in the height of summer and doesn't cost a penny or make any noise), a wardrobe, sink and drainer, 2 ring cooker and grill, 3 generous presses, running water, underbed storage, and a huge pop top with brand new skylights (genuine Dormobile) and 2 bunk beds (and also very rare Dormobile bunk bed covers. The pop top even has curtains and a shaving mirror. When the pop top is up there is 8 foot of headroom and lots and lots of natural light in this van. This van also has seatbelts in the back (1 x 3 point roller, 1 x lap) and front (2 x 3 point roller) and the two buddy seats are rear facing and fixed to brackets so legal to sit in when driving.
ICE
There is an amplifier, 6 speakers, a Pioneer head unit, and a Pioneer 6 CD changer (installed in the back wardrobe). This is not a boy racer sound system but it sounds sweet and looks neat.
Tax, NCT, and Insurance
Tax is €47 a year, NCT is not required, insurance ranges from €57 to €330 as a second car depending on what else you drive and what level of insurance you want. As you only car it will be €660 to insure comprehensively with Axa. It is on Irish plates and ready to drive.
Price
€15,000 o.v.n.o
