 Volkswagen (VW) Kombi camper van

Our lovely van, named Ethel because of her old age, is going to be up for sale very soon as we reach the end of our travels through Australia.

Features/Stuff you need to know

The first person to view the van will want to buy it, just as we did. Naturally, you'll want a mechanic to give it a check first, just as we did. Here's what ours said:

"I see kombis from time-to-time but they're usually falling to piece, rust everywhere. This is the best kombi I've seen in years, you can tell it's been looked after."

Another? Speaking to Karl from Road Runner Autos (VW specialist in Cairns):

Karl: "That's a great van - you've got an investment there."

Me: "I just didn't want to lose money on whatever van I got."

Karl: "Shit, to do that you'd have to wrap it around a tree!"

We haven't :-)

What's it gonna cost?

We're asking for $6,250 $5,700 ono. When you see the van for yourself, you'll realise it's not over the odds.We've seen a lot of kombis, and some are rust-buckets on wheels. So don't get something that looks like this:
