SUMMARY
On offer from long-term ownership, an original Bay Window Devon Sundowner with a recent interior refurbishment at a very attractive guide.
DESCRIPTION
- For those of us old enough to remember, there was always a certain thrill seeing these amazing campers heading to the South West in a rainbow of colours
- The Bay Sundowner, produced by Devon Conversions, was the top of the range, with a swing out oven, plenty of room for a family of four with two in the fold away roof and the ability to stand up when camped
- Mechanically overhauled extensively during our vendors 19-year ownership, the VW has recently benefited from a well refurbished interior
- With his children now grown up, his beloved camper is not getting much use so our vendor has reluctantly decided to part with it
- Offered with a very sensible estimate, we anticipate there will be a few hands in the air for this wonderful opportunity
