RHD Original N.Ireland reg 1971 Volkswagen Type 2 Baywindow Project

Description

I'd like to give someone the opportunity to aquire my RHD 1971 Devon Moonraker Baywindow project for sale including every VW part i've gathered up over 30 years, tools, welding equipment the lot. The bus is looking rusty but is easily restorable, ive seen worse. Solid underneath and has original belly pans but needs a lot of panel work.

The Bus is stripped down to the shell and theres a box of schofield metal panels for repair (@£1000 worth), two brand new Baywindow doors still in the transport factory paint (£800 each), Repaired sliding door + the original sliding door. All glass is there and a lot extra, 2 x westy windows and new rubber, full complete leather (£1500) interior In chianti red to match the original bus colour, including headliner and door cards all restored to better than new.. I have two sets of Devon moonraker interiors and lots of rare Devon parts from the factory that didn't even go on sale, diesel space heater with its own tank, brand new windowed bellows for the pop top roof from the original manufacturer who is now out of business (£900), I have a £600 walk away awning, used once. MCB wood rim steering wheel and boss (£350), Berg RHD locking bus shifter (brand new £900), brand new westfalia towbar to fit the baywindow (£400) and anything else VW you can find in my garage you can take.

Engine was sold but there is a set of Original Weber 36 dual Carbs + the manifolds and repair kits for sale with it too (£800) i will sell these separately for the right offer.
Two gear boxes, the original one, and the other an AS code with the taller 4th for motorway driving and the adapter to fit it to the bus setup. I have a full set of Classic Porsche Cookie Cutters rims and adapters to fit baywindow spindles. Brand new Wilwood 4 pot callipers and discs (£1400) to fit the bay spindles and rear calliper upgrades with discs including adapters and Porsche hubs all round. The poptop roof is intact and will include the new correct pattern windowed bellows (last one ever made £1200) same as the original. uprated lifting springs with it too. All the rubbers needed for a full restore of the roof are there as well.

The bus is on a CJ Autos dolly for moving around (worth £400) and theres a CJ Autos Heavy Duty Rotisserie with the correct type 2 adapters (£700) to go with the bus. I have a load of tools including a top of the line welder (£600) and CO2 canister gas, all the welding tools with it too to fix the panels. Theres many more things as well like two original blaupunt radios etc. too much to list here.

Negatives are the front beam was sold (as was to be replaced with a red 9 which was also sold) but everything else is there including the original wheels.

I don't have the time anymore and would like someone to at least get it back on the road. I ran the Earlybay dot com club a few years back so some of you might know me. This is a ready made project with only the welding, paint and putting it back together to get it on the road all the parts and tools to finish the job, there's thousands in parts alone gathered up over the years, some NOS you cant even get hold of anymore. I would like to see someone take the whole project lock stock as I don't want to split it and spend too much time selling it off.

You would definitely have to come up and inspect it all as theres 20 years worth of parts tools etc. which would make this bus really special. I'm open to offers but no low ballers and will split any part listed you want for the right price.

DM me for my number if your interested. I'm on the North Coast near Ballycastle.
