He very quickly added a very cool 1970 Yvonne Mostard Caravan which, amazingly, was in similar condition to the Samba, beautifully original and blue over white. What’s even more impressive is that both vehicles have retained so many of their original features. Over 10,000 miles have been covered curing the current ownership and our vendors have the most amazing memories. During their ownership, the family Beagle, Bruce, was always first in the van looking for an adventure. (We’ve all had dogs that couldn’t wait to jump in the car and just want to go where you go). Sadly Bruce passed away in May this year and driving the Deluxe doesn’t feel the same without your ‘pal’ so it’s time to pass this piece of history on to someone new to enjoy. This rare Deluxe Samba has been fully serviced and maintained by specialists, Export 56, since 2011 with invoices in the history file for c.£30,000. It’s worth noting that the Samba Deluxe originally left the factory in Sealing Wax Red over Beige Grey. Our vendor would like to note that this is not a Concours contender and that it’s been used, enjoyed and well maintained. He goes onto say that ‘the paint looks good and presents really well. No signs of rust or accident damage. The bus is serviced and ready to use. Both the caravan and the Samba are supplied with lots of additional camping equipment, accessories, tools, spares, far too much to list’.
