Recession is biting the self-employed particularly hard – so our lovely VW Type 2 Bay camper van has to go. It’s a 1973 model with 1600cc engine and manual gearbox. We bought it only a year, from folk who had had a brand new interior installed. That’s new driver and passenger seats, new carpets at the front, new wooden flooring at the back, new units, new fold-down double bed, new one-plus-one jump seat, new dismountable table, new powered cool box fridge, new back cupboards, new sink (with electric submersible pump) and new cooker. We’ve replaced the exterior mirrors and the aerial with new items; there’s now a new CD/radio with i-pod hook-up; new, modern headlights with chrome visors, and a dinky spotlight which I haven’t wired in yet; and a new, super heavy duty battery. We also had a brilliant short-throw gear lever, and we’ve had the brakes completely re-built. It’s got a 240 volt hook-up facility. The spare wheel cover was new three months ago. The roof and skylight were new in 2011, and it was fitted with a new front axle. All in all, a really lovely job.
