1969 Vw Early Bay Window, 1 previous owner. For Sale

Here for sale is Eileen our 1969 Vw early bay window Devon Carravette, named after her previous owner who owned her from new after trading in her Vw split screen!
First registered on 26/ 06/ 69 and purchased from Parkway of Parkstone Volkswagen.
Eileen is now celebrating her 50th anniversary
We can’t believe were putting her up for sale but her she is! We have owned her around 9 years now.

I bought her after getting to know her previous owner who had a fantastic story to tell and always loved and cherished this vehicle. The Camper has had a very steady, charmed life delivering cakes and eggs locally from new, out of a hamper basket that was placed in the rear! She was also used for occasional trips away on weekends by her elderly owner. It was kept under a dry car port most of her life and in dry storage when not in use by myself.
The story and previous owner are what make this a very special vehicle to us and we would like the next owner to appreciate that also. The previous owner wanted her to stay original and not be messed around with which is what we have endeavoured to always do and would like to continue.
The mileage is a very low genuine 76000 miles from new. Lots of history and paperwork comes with Eileen including the original receipt of sale! How many times do you get the original sales receipt!? Eileen was purchased locally new from Vw and stayed local all her life.
I have the original Vw service record books and manuals which will come included in the sale. I can’t stress enough what an opportunity this is to purchase a rust free RHD example of an Early bay window. This must be one of the most original survivors and has not been restored. Rather she has been lovingly preserved in her original glory.
The bodywork externally is mostly original paint and regularly waxed and protected by myself. The underbody has also been wax oiled professionally and thoroughly to preserve the original condition.
Internally the interior is also amazingly original and still retaining its original curtains along with cushions/ upholstery in black vinyl and orange plaid. The original flooring is also underneath a covering! The floor pan as can be seen in the photos is as good as it gets. All the original furniture Is in place and the lovely orange Devon table reflects again the way this camper has been looked after. The plaid bunk beds are still in working order and have never been used by ourselves and I’m guessing probably not the previous owner. Pop top all in working order. The dash is painted in the body colour as was standard on these early bays of this year from new.
Eileen also has the original side awning and rail for it, fitted to the roof. We have used it only a few times but provides excellent shelter and another place to cook outside if you wish.
Never let us down ever….
Last summer I gave her a really thorough refresh including brakes, ball joints and engine service with new parts totalling approximately £700. All in the name of keeping Eileen Tip Top. The engine bay is lovely and dry/ clean too. The engine runs superbly and always has during our ownership.
So that’s it…. Any questions, I’m happy to answer them for you if you call me.

Please no time wasters and genuine buyers only. A truly regrettable sale of what must be one of the most original 1 previous owner RHD Early Bay windows available.

A beautiful one of a kind VW splitty. I only bought this camper a year ago, spent over £5k on upgrades, and unfortunately my work has stopped me from being able to enjoy her over the summer months and moving now means I think I have to sell her.
