Posted on | Leave a comment

Camper

If you're on the look out for one, this 1972 T2 Volkswagen Camper Van is a real head-turner.

Tax-exempt, this van might have 150,000 on the clock, but it's had the works when it comes to restoration – everything from a full body and engine rebuild through to new cupboards and bed – nothing has been ignored.

With that in mind, words don't really do it justice. Check out the listing for more images and a couple of YouTube videos giving the lowdown. If you like what you see, £9,995 is the price right now.

Icecream

Bored of your office job? Crave a job that takes you along the highways and byways of our towns and cities? You need to bid for this 1970s Bedford CF ice cream van, then pick up a white coat. Job done.

Being sold because the owner is buying a new one (so obviously a bit of money in it), this is a 1976 van with a double glazed window for seeing straight into the lolly freezer, storage for 7x 5-litre tubs on the go (with room for another 20 tubs inside too) and an option to buy a whippy machine.

As a van, it's been upgraded with a new coil, exhaust, lights, battery and chrome wheel caps and is ready to to as soon as you've got the ices on ice. Downside? It's on the Isle of Wight, so you'll have to drive it back from there. Price is now £2,500, with a few days still to go.

Bug

Looking for a cool car for or the summer that isn't going to cost much? Check out this 1976 Volkswagen Karmann Beetle convertible, which is currently criminally cheap.

Not exactly the lowest mileage at just over 113,000 miles, but let's be honest, this is a classic car that's 34 years old, so not that bad really. According to the seller, this left-hand drive model is 'in good running order' and in 'regular use throughout the year', with regular serving at a VW specialist.

Body is described as 'sound' and the MOT takes you to June 2011, so all in all, sounds like a winner if you want to own a big. Especially at the current price – just £10.50 would you believe.
