Description

There are campervans… and then there are campervans with stories. This one began its life under the warm Australian sun, born in Adelaide in 1979 as a factory built Wanderer spec camper. It was created for freedom, for big skies, for dusty roads and ocean breezes—everything a true VW should embody.Fast forward to 2012, when it made its journey across the world to the UK. Imported by the well regarded G’Day Kombis and fully registered with the DVLA, it was treated not simply as a vehicle but as a cherished piece of heritage. They stripped it back, rebuilt it with expertise and affection, and dressed it in the glorious colour combination you see today: Birch Green and Cream—a two tone celebration of sunshine, surf and simpler times.Its current owner took the keys in 2016 and has cared for it with the same devotion. Used seasonally, professionally stored between adventures, and serviced every single year, it remains in exceptional condition throughout. Today it has covered just 23,000 km, and every one of them feels like part of a summer story.On the road, this VW is a joy. It benefits from a suite of tasteful and meaningful upgrades that enhance reliability, drivability and comfort without losing its vintage soul. Highlights include:• Remtec 2.0 litre engine with twin 40 Dellorto carbs• CSP shifter• Power steering• Reversing sensors• Lowered suspension• Vintage Speed stainless exhaust – delivering that unmistakable air cooled VW soundtrackStep inside and the charm continues. This is a campervan ready to turn every outing into a memory. It’s perfectly equipped for beach days, woodland escapes and lazy weekends in the countryside, with:• Solar panel• Leisure battery• 240v socket• Compressor fridge• Propex central heating• Pop up roofThis 1979 Campervan is more than a vehicle.
