1974 VW Late Bay Devon pop-top in great condition For Sale

Meet Gus! He has been part of our family for the last 9 years.
He’s a 1973/ 4 Late Bay T2, with an eye catching colour scheme – ok, it’s not traditional VW, but looks sharp!
We’ve concentrated on making space inside, so there’s no kitchen, just a small occasional stove which converts into a box seat with storage. There is also a buddy seat and a table which is moveable toward back and front to make the best use of the space.
The bed is HUGE!! It’s a full width rock’n’roll, which converts into a three-seater bench seat, complete with seat belts. There are two adjustable reading lights.
The original bunks are included, which is a rare feature, and they actually work!
All of the seats and door cards have been covered in the same cream vinyl with blue piping. All in excellent condition (just a scrape on the buddy seat). The underside of the bench seats are covered in material to make sleeping more comfortable when turned over.
The same material is used for the curtains.
There is plenty of storage under the bench seat, in the box seat, and above the rear seat.
The floor is tiled in contrasting blue and cream vinyl tiles. The whole floor was stripped, painted and lined with marine ply during the renovation.
There are two electrical supplies – 12 volt leisure battery and 240 volt hook-up. These supply lights and a double 240 volt socket.
The Devon pop-top is in good condition – both seals have been replaced, and the roof lining has been renewed. The roof has been insulated with a layer of polystyrene. There is also a roof vent. The gas struts have been renovated. The concertina sides of the pop-top are sound, but there are some stains.
The cab is colour coordinated, with blue vinyl kick boards under the dash shelf. The dashboard is painted to match the rest of the inside metalwork, which lifts it from the normal drab black. There is a radio/ CD player with remote, which is great when you’re lying in bed! There is also an integrated double 12 volt/ USB socket set.
The windows have been adapted to electrical winders.
The “hang-ten” style accelerator pedal and pool ball gear knob always raise a smile!
Mechanically, the engine and gearbox are in excellent condition. There are receipts for a new gearbox (before our ownership) and the engine rebuild when we first got him in 2012.
The heating system has been overhauled, and is probably as good as it gets! There is an auxiliary fan which means that you still get heat even if you’re not going flat out!
A brand new battery (fitted just a few days ago) will ensure you get started and keep going! There is also a switch which enables the leisure battery to charge while on a journey.
Outside the bodywork, while not immaculate, is very good for a 48 year-old. Just a few small rust patches, but nothing to get worried about. The wing mirrors, which suffered while he was in storage have just been replaced with a brand new pair.
The wheels have been replaced with Empi renovated units – painted white for maximum contrast. The spare is mounted on the front which frees up a lot of space inside.
The suspension has been lowered – the rear was simple, via the torque bars. The front has been modified and is now adjustable. We have settled for a moderate setting, but you could slam it if that’s your preference!! The ride is much better than before this was done.
So what else can I tell you?
He’ll come with an inflatable drive-away Quechua awning which is inflated in a couple of minutes. There is also a collapsible shelf unit, and collapsible camp kitchen with double-burner, grill and gas bottle. No need to pack everything away – just zip it up and take off for the day.
A fan heater is supplied, which is much easier than a gas or diesel heating system.
There is a hook-up lead, complete with breaker.
To ensure you don’t roll out of bed (or into your bedmate!) there are levelling ramps.
Don’t worry about getting stuck in the mud, because he also comes with traction plates!!
There is an original over-cab roof rack, and roof bars perfect for those surfboards
We’ll be sad to see him go, but he needs to be given more time than we can offer. A recent move also means that we have nowhere to store him, and he has just spent a year in storage.
It’s now time for YOU to take him on – what could be better in the current situation than exploring the UK in a characterful campervan, attracting attention wherever you go. Your waving arm will never have had as much exercise!!
