... I think I would be buying this. (As featured in this months VolksWorld Camper & Bus) In fact I may sell the house and get a mortgage on this as you could live int it!
You have probably seen it before, but it is up for sale again.

+1 pointless, think what 52k would buy you these days.

I think if it was white without them stickers it would look nicer, but still not worth that much

Opened his chequebook.
Given that it's a 2.5 TDI base motor with 174bhp it's not a huge leap of imagination to get it to put out 340bhp.
As the standard 174 motors are renowed for destroying driveshafts, clutches and gearboxes a lot of money will need to have been spent in that area.

A road off a cliff face.

if i had 52k spare i'd buy a mint split screen camper and stick a porsche motor in it, spend 10k on my mk1, buy a trailer 4 it, and get a garage built next to my house and probably still have change!

and the splitty with the right motor would probably out do that tango van, if not, roll the mk1 off the trailer with its 5k motor and give that some beans instead! :cool:

Meh, you're all barking up the wrong horse.
This conversion under a T5 California is the best possible EPIC in the camper department:

can't remeber the price before but it looks like the same ad so can't see why they would put the price up if it hadnt sold. Unless its a new post using the original pictures and someones trying to make a profit!

for the same price I can get insured on a mk4 1.4 e, so if I do get into college i've got to find a job at asda or somethin working the days I don't go college, and try and save up to get insured as I've had my license 9 months and I have still not driven on the road since, just the odd pulling the car out of the garage..
-
Damn well i hope you get on the road soon mate.... if it makes you feel any better i havent driven my MK1 for over 6 years! :sad:
