A Thule awning, whitewall tyres, wider steel wheels, a television, a radio and a satellite dish were added later. Under its present owner it has been serviced regularly by specialist workshops in Germany and given a professional wax cavity treatment, and its sound Californian body makes it a well-preserved, authentic camper.

The car is at Hamburg, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer.

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled.
