Hi all, I am considering selling my 1973 Devon Caravette. I recently sold my splittie, and bought this bus as I knew someone was selling it. Unfortunately, I regret selling my splittie, so am thinking about buying another which means Dibley has to go! So, here goes.. Like I say, a 1973 Devon Caravette tin top in Niagra Blue and Pastel White. Just 4 owners before me - the last one had it for 15 years. It was originally owned by a vicar, hence the name, Dibley! The previous owner had some bodywork done and a respray from the gutter down a couple of years ago - he left the roof and gutters for originality - gutters are all solid. Original Devon Caravette interior, which consists of two 3/4 seats which face each other around a table - you can turn the front seat around so they all face the same way, like a minbus. There is a side unit consisting of the sink & cooker/grill, and a rear side cupboard and overhead locker. All in good condition. Still has the original front seats although the passenger seat base has some tears in it and a bit of material missing. 1641cc engine which I have just serviced and replaced all the fuel lines, plugs, leads, dizzy cap, fan belt recent new front brake pads & hoses just fitted dropped spindles Fitted with towbar and electrics (previous owner used to tow a small camping trailer). Front bed hammock over front seats All MOTs from new Original service handbook from new Original rustproofing certificate from new £13,500 ono - I am in Solihull piccies to follow..
Still got all the belly pans in place. Few areas of surface rust that need wire brushing & undesealing ...had some welding, as usual for a rhd van..but seems v solid.
As well as pics of the underbody, I would ask why do you want to sell it so soon after purchase. In my mind you've owned a splittie before, but your Bay seems to be disappointing you for some reason.
