Reluctant Sale - need to pay rent and other bills, and can't afford tax due at the end of the month 
Reimo Pop-top roof (arguably one of the most superior TUV-tested elevating roof systems) with sunroof.
Roof has clear front window and mosquito netted side windows - sunroof fitted with blind system
Variotech Folding 'Rock'n'roll' seat/bed system - TUV approved adjustable seating system can slide the entire length of rear of vehicle offering a number of seating positions for passengers. Storage underseat, seat can also be removed completely with reasonable ease to provide full length load space. Two lap-belts.
Central removable table.
Passenger seat on Swivel Base - also has a lockable safe under the seat.
Standard VW Tape/Radio fitted.
Reimo Awning Rail - makes attaching awnings very simple and easy as well as helping prevent water dripping from roof into van when slider open.
2 x 85amp leisure batterys in battery locker, with vent. Loads of potential power for those times when no electrical hook-up is available.
240v external Hookup, connected to Circuit Breaker and ZIG Battery charger 12volt electric management system with fuses. Independent switches for Fridge & water pump. 1x 240v internal socket
Waeco CB40 Fridge/Cooler - 40 litre 12v - awesome top-loading fridge, draws very little power (1.2-1.8 a/h) can last almost 2 weeks on full battery charge, can also cool to below freezing. Being a top-loader, it is also more efficient as cold air does not escape everytime you get a cold beer from it!
LED Interior Lighting (uses very little power) Two strip lights above side cupbiards, two 'reading' lights at rear - 12v 'cigar lighter' type socket at rear. Courtesy light & map light also fitted with LED (you could leave these on for days and not flatten the starter battery!) White map light - ambient green courtesy light - operates when driver, passenger or sliding door opens - or can be switched off, or permanently on.
Safety Gas Locker with 'drop out' - complete with 907 Gas bottle (possibly half full) with internal on/off valve. (door has rubber seal for safety)
Double hob with Grill underneath - grill compartment and lid have heat shielding.
Stainless sink, with 12v switched tap - water pumped from 20litre tank stored at rear, waste water pipe through the van floor
Sitex side windows in rear - these are 'double glazed' providing superior insulation, also fitted with sitex blind system - mosquito net, or thermal blind can be selected. two forward windows hinge from top and can be opened in a number of positions. rear has a slider (great for additional passenger comfort if they wish to control amount of fresh air they receive)
Only 2 previous owners - 1st the vehicle converter - K.C. Motorhomes, small family company of high quality converters who converted approx 25 vehicles before retiring due to ill-health. 2nd owners from 1999 - 2006 were a couple of teachers, who sold to me when they retired and upgraded to a LHD T5 to tour the continent. There was a full book of service history they provided and numerous receipts, though I've lost the initial service book, many of the receipts and much of the service history is still present. I have serviced regularly at least every 12months, and never driven more than 10,000miles in a year.
When I bought it in 2006 with 135,000 miles on the clock, I had a Full VW Service including Cambelt, Headgasket and catalyst replaced.
In the last 5 years the only work required was a little on the exhaust/silencer, and a replaced starter-motor.
Averages around 35mpg - and being a pop-top it will fit under 2.1metre height restrictions, allowing access to most car parks.
Very reluctant sale - but I'll spare you the sob-story here, just need to clarify, I need the money quickly and am not in a position to pay vehicle tax (£210 12 months) at the end of this month. MOT is valid until start of May, expect it to fly through this with no major work.
2 ignition/door keys and 2 safe keys.
Some fairly minor faults worth mentioning -
Bodywork, the sill seam behind drivers door has a small two-foot in length split which is slightly rusty - previous owners turned into a bollard! This was fully repaired when I bought it, but within 12months had started to open up due to heat/cold and vibration. I had it repaired for about £200 three years ago, though it did again start to open up about 18months ago.
Some very minor small rust blemishes starting to appear around a couple of wheel arches, not very noticable unless inspecting closely.
The bonnet has a number of small stone chips. Many of these have been 'touched-up'.
The A/C needs charging - I only ever opened the window/sunroof when it got too hot!
The mosquito nets in the roof are in need of repairing, as currently quite large mosquitoes could get through!
Their is a small (8inch) split in roof fabric that has been repaired with 'tenacious tape', should cause no further trouble but needs a mention. you can just about see this split in pic of passenger side just above passenger door
Wheels/Tyres - all tyres reasonable tread, may benefit for swapping the rear around to front as more tread on the rear. Spare tyre unused. Wheels could do with a 'respray' as some minor rusting. 2 wheels on one side have VW style trims fitted, otherside original centre caps, can provide all 4 centre caps if required.
Please note - The pictured bike rack, is not included in the sale. Nor are the electrical invertor/transformer pictured in the rear view.
Inspections by self, or mechanic welcome - I can be fairly flexible to accommodate visitors. Though please, only serious buyers.
I think I've covered everything, will also try and get some more/better pics up/available over the next few days. Any questions please do get in touch
Come spring, this would easily fetch £10k, especially if I spent a little time and money fixing up the minor faults
