VW Karmann Gipsy 1983

Описание: 1983 VW Karmann Gipsy

This lovely classic is going to make someone very happy. It has been lovingly looked after over its 27-year life and has the same again amount of life left in her no doubt.

Covering only 55,000 miles its still smells new inside and drives faultlessly. The steering is as tight as any new car and the gearbox the same. I cannot express how good this VW is to drive. All the pedals and floor mats are in pristine condition proving further its lack of use.

This Karmann is a factory coachbuilt motorhome conversion and is number 067 in the production line of 800 Gipsys. It is the more sought after Karmann motorhome over its sister the Karmann Cheetah.

The joinery and woodwork is the best in its class. Karmann has a long history in producing quality products and this is no exception.

Originally this VW was a 2.0 aircooled. Unfortunately these petrol engines sound great but give terrible fuel economy. The former keeper, a German army mechanic has installed a 1.9 diesel engine within the van. The engine is clean, solid and been fitted very well. Its starts on the button and pulls well. The 1.9 diesel is reliable and more desirable than the 1.6 turbo-diesel due to its extra cc and non-turbo status.

Externally the Gipsy is in very good shape. There are a couple of dents here and there and some touching up has been done by its former owners. Nothing untoward or visually unappealing. There is no rust issues and for 27 years the body work can only be described as in excellent condition.

This Motorhome will be newly UK registered and taxed for 6 months for the new owners.
