SUMMARY
A UK-supplied, right-hand drive 'Pop Top' with less than 50,000 miles, fully restored and it shows.
DESCRIPTION
- An original, UK-supplied 'bay window' camper first registered on 08/08/1979 and superbly restored
- Seven years current ownership, just 50,000 miles indicated and with an MOT valid until March 2026
- Affectionately known as 'Florence' and rather distinctively presented in Cloud White over Bright Orange with a matching interior
- Florence is accompanied by her little sister, a trailer that expands into a full awning and leisure seating
- The van's interior was redesigned and retrimmed in 2018 and now makes really clever use of space, hob, fridge, sink, sockets, music system, storage, SatNav, kettle and all. Plumbed in engine-bay fire extinguisher for added safety
- Good history file with 23 old MOT certificates, old tax discs and a ream of invoices for parts and works completed during the restoration
- The attention to detail is second to none, if you are looking for your first campervan set up, then this could be the one for you
