Title: mint camper
Post by: monkeyalan on 13 April 2005, 15:47
Haven't had a proper look yet but there's a blue camper for sale in my local gilders (Sheffield). £10500.

Must be mint cos its got pride of place in the showroom.

I'll have to nip up there for a few bits (relays probably! :grin:) in the next few days so I'll take my digi cam.

I cant see a 21 window samba being "mint" for 10.5k, unless they dont know the real value of what they are selling, I seen a min 21 window samba at Dubfreeze earlier in the year and the asking price for that was 18k

On the subject of Splitties and there value I was watching this on ebay, before the advert was pulled the bidding was at £480, and I think that it will have been pulled as there was a significantly bigger offer put in privately, probably in the region of 2k.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4542115295&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

I think he is being a little optimistic stating that it can be worth up to 50k once restored, I would put a more realistic figure on its value once restored at approx 22-25k

If I had the money and the time, I would be looking for such a project for myself.

Have been a big big fan of splitties and all things aircooled for as long as I can remember, may even swap one of the golfs for a bug / bay one day soon :grin:

i wanna project to do myself.  reckon i could master the skills i need with a bit o practice.  i mean, i learnt how to weld on a two hour session in my workshop sessions at the beggining of the year.  body work couldnt be too difficult......

The body work involved in the restoration of any car can be huge, and the work required on a splittie can be massive, I have looked at a few splitties with a view to purchasing one, but have so far resisted the temptation of taking on such a huge project.

However if my numbers come out tonight, I will be looking for a 40+ year old van tommorrow :grin:
