Conversion Description

I am reluctantly selling my beloved adventure van ‘Bluey’ due to soon expecting twins and needing way more space. This van has been my joy for the past 3.5 years and has taken me on so many adventures, it is set up for off grid exploring and drives like a car (Has been my main vehicle as well as camper). Originally a panel van, Bluey was lovingly converted in 2020 by a good friend who does professional van conversions independently, the pop top and additional windows were installed by a local conversion company and I have receipts available.

Fully off grid with a solar panel and leisure battery with split charge, I have camped for 3 weeks straight with no worries of running out of power at all. There is no electric hook up. The conversion would suit a couple with a max of one child, or single person due to only having 3 belted seats in the front.

Bluey does have a relatively high mileage (222,226 – this will go up as still in use) however has been well cared for and has had twice yearly professional services by a VW specialist since being in my ownership since 2020 (all receipts available). Has had a full service and 4 new tyres this year as well as new break pads. MOT until Jan 2025.

Bad bits (mentioning every detail I could find!)
* Mileage is on the high side at 222,26 but these van’s go a long time and Bluey has shown no signs of needing to slow down, having toured the whole of Isle of Skye this year!
* Slightly cracked bumper passenger rear
* Slightly cracked driver rear light
* Small tear in pop top passenger rear – easily repaired and I have taped the tear up
* Back door has a small weather seal split
* Driver door weather seal could do with being replaced
* 12volt plug in front not operating but could be repaired
* Driver side mirror shell – could do with replacement (cosmetic) but is functional
* Driver side rear wheel arch paint flaking slightly
* I’m not including the fridge as it is sentimental but there is space for one of your choice.

The van is available to view immediately in Arundel, West Sussex -or Brighton/Hove if desired as my mum lives there and i’m back and forth, or Essex as I have family there. The mileage will go up slightly but not significantly.

Happy to answer any questions, provide additional photos/videos and viewings very welcome.
