1975 VW Bay Crew Cab / DOKA For Sale

I've owned this for a year - She who must be obeyed want's a new kitchen - that is the only reason for the sale, there is no rush and I'm not interested in moving much from the asking price, this is what it is worth to me.

This is quite possibly one of the most fun and versatile Vw's I have owned but I've only done 1000 miles i the last 12 months.
It doesn't have an MOT. Remains garaged as it did with the previous keeper, and has had a fair amount of work completed by the previous owner and myself.

I have a lot of pictures, so If you'd like to see more before reading on here is a link:

- details above details below@N07/ 9u0LQ9

work the previous owner has completed in brief (2017)
I have a detailed invoice for 1-5 (pics in the link with a very detailed breakdown)
new fuel lines (copper)
ball joints
shocks
new discs and pads and callipers
new tyres on main wheels (not spare)
+fire extinguisher fitted
+twin carb set up with hex bar
+battery relocated to under the rear bench seat.


Work I have completed
new barrels and pistons (1641) about 300 miles completed since
New oil seals throughout the engine as it was leaking everywhere
new rocker covers
new door strap for load door
New fuel pump (this was packing up on my initial drive back from southampton)
after some considerable searching , Sourced a correct seat base for the rear bench (upholstery doesnt match) ( £450 from fbi vw)
New crystal headlights £70 (require alignment)
removal of wood from load bed
removal of wood from rear bulkhead where load bed meets the cab
source new correct panel 'Klassicfab' best quality £360 approx


The body
In good order - plenty of scratches and dents from use, rust spots on front panel and around the body.
It has clearly had the sills done since coming to the UK in about 2012.
Has been blown over at some point.
When the engine was out I had a good route around and behind the firewall panels under the rear bench seat, this has all been waxoyled.
the load bed has some holing but is in ok order. Where the load bed meets the cab, there are repair panels but the bulkhead itself is holey. Hence sourcing the new panel.
The drop gates are in OK order. better than most I've seen. but do have holes and are rusty. when you lower and raise them you can hear the rust inside.
The cab floor and the rear floor are in good order
It comes with a towbar fitted to the rear.

The canopy
Probably a couple of years old at most from 'Vw canvas'. It has a metal frame rather than an original metal and wood frame. Its ok for mild rain. It isn't great for torrential downpours. If stood, the rain pools on it because of the frame shape and eventually drips through. I slept under it at bug jam.
It has zips inside so you can do it up from the inside and what is alleged to be a waterproof membrane sewn in at the top.


The Drive
Other than the fuel pump being on its way out before replacement, it drove from southampton to Peterborough absolutely fine. (That was a long ol' journey) I would genuinely drive it anywhere.
It has a short shift with CSP shifter which makes it a lot better to drive.

What needs doing?
The headlights want aligning correctly
the bulkhead panel wants changing but is not an urgent thing to do as it genuinely does work fine as it.
Handbrake cable wants tightening.
I'm happy with the bodywork as is, I appreciate some may not be.
The headlining for the front part of the cab is white perforated material, for some reason the rear is black and not fastened well.

What else comes with it?
The bulkhead panel as described
I have the old blue canopy pictured , but its holey and knackered. great for history though.
previous owner had a tonneau made, but this means screwing in wood supports on the tops of the drop gates rather than clasping into the original fastenings. (I have the wood supports and the tonneau)
an untested 34pct carb
the yellow spotlights pictured in the original pic
some old original seat belts


Location / payment and all that fun stuff

I hope you can tell that it is only my intention to be as honest as possible about the crewie. I love it. I actually don't want to sell it. Its a great family wagon to dump all your bbq's, kids bikes, tents, event shelters etc and still have a tonne of room in the cab. Or go on a lads weekend and rough it on an airbed on the back like I did.

Located in the village of Thorney, just outside Peterborough - Pe6 0SN postal code
To test drive you need insurance, not 3rd party only, full insurance .
Payment by bank transfer, you can use my internet if need be. The crewie will only be released once the funds have landed. This is usually within the hour, but I have had instances in the past of upto 3 hours !
Brews can be supplied whilst your having a poke around, I'm not that tight

2 Keys and v5 present
