Script from genuine/original listing:-
Hi, I've decided to sell my T2 Bay Window Camper. Rare RHD proper pop top Westfalia conversion. As you can see from the pictures it is pretty good although not perfect. There are a few areas that have a few bits of rust or paint bubbles but generally a well loved bus. It comes with a drive away awning and has a full rock and roll bed and a small double in the pop top with a bunk that fits over the cab. All the bits that are meant to work do work, except the tap on the sink (it may work, I just don't use it). It has got 4 new tyres and is Road Tax free. MOT 9 months left and very reliable. The mileage reads 33934 but we don't know how many miles it has actually done. Please message with any questions or if you want to come and see it. Van is advertised elsewhere so may be withdrawn at any time. Cash or cleared funds thank you.
Thanks for looking.
