It wasn't all that long ago that original Bay Window Kombi Campers were a plenty. A dime a dozen and often seen travelling all over this wide brown land.

Nowadays the oldest Bay is 59 years old, and the youngest being 47. The days of original unmolested unrestored Kombi's are few and far between. Introducing Louis the 1977 Campmobile.

Louis has been owned by his current owner since 2009, and over the past 17 years has travelled around 21,000kms. This bus is a time warp, how buses used to be. The smell of the original Campmobile interior, the mainly original paint and the oh so 70's style graphics hits home.

Louis is 50 years old next year.

In the last 10,000km the engine has been rebuilt (in 2016).

In recent months its had 2 new batteries (starter & house), a brake caliper kit, new drive shafts, seat belts, engine dust seal, fuel hoses & filters.
It comes with a roof rack, awning and annexe.
Rear seat / bed was re-upholstered a few years back.

The grey primer on the back corner is where we welded in a new battery shelf about 15 years ago.

Very minor rust, overall a very very solid example.

Bus is in Northern Tassie, Tamar Valley Region.

Open to sensible offers around $25k.

If you are looking for a genuine old Camper that has a lot of life left to give, are happy with a bit of patina and Call Louis on 0409 129 121.

The Camper is currently on Special Interest Registration and is non transferrable.

Have you ever looked at an old abandoned building and wondered what was hiding behind the door?

For 15 years William has had to drive past a building like this knowing that there was a little imported 65 Beetle hiding in plain sight on a main road in Launceston.

He had approached the owner countless times over the years but was just never able to crunch a deal, that was until yesterday.

The property was sold and settlement day had arrived, and finally a number was agreed and a tow truck organised.

Despite now looking at the next project, William is pretty stoked to have finally secured the Beetle he was never able to get.

Now the story goes, Mick the previous owner bought it back in the late 90’s from a person who lived out near Myrtle Park in NE Tassie. He drove it home with the motor knocking away. He then parked it up never to be driven again.

Hiding in the back is a newspaper from September 1997, and what looks to be a school project on frogs.

How many differences can you spot with a Euro 65 compared to an Aussie 65?

Enjoy the photos!

Update, found the owner!

Are you or do you know the owner of the Karmann Ghia?

If you do and can prove it I have a present for you. The original books and rego certificate from when it was new.

The car was sold to Victoria in around 06/08 and hopefully is back on the road again!

Price: $10,500 ono.

If you’re interested, send us a PM and we will pass the owners details on.

Regrettably up for sale, but with a newborn at home and more important priories at play, I am listing the 67 Panel for sale.

Lots of quirks, bumps and bruises with some rust in the hang on panels. Running and driving with full Tasmanian registration. 1500 engine runs well, still 6v with dual batteries. All new brakes, slaves, master and flex lines. This was my first big resto with a lot of metal being put into it.

Tassie delivered van from new. Still have the books, early Tasmanian plates. Last registered in 1985 before being resurrected 18 months ago.

Comes with a spare pair of white cargo doors with minimal rust.

For someone wanting to jump in and drive everyday, you probably nearly could. It would just be cold and a bit damp but it’s a price point registered Splitty you can drive home.

Price: $35,000.

Location: Port Sorell. 15 minutes from Devonport, Tasmania.

Please no time wasters. More photos available on request for genuine interest.

Today’s recovery is this 1971 Volkswagen Kombi Microbus, a Tassie bus delivered from Kevin Jack Motors in Launceston on the 26/10/1971 to a Leonard Rowlings in Youngtown.

The previous owner Rick had a strong connection to VW’s with his father being involved with the VW participation in the REDEX and BP Rally’s back in the 50’s and 60’s. He had bought the bus in what we thought was the late 80’s, used it as a camper van with his family with a makeshift rock and roll bed until it was last registered in November 1995 after being parked up with an unknown mechanical problem.

The plan was always to get the bus back on the road but one thing led to another and 31 years later it was still sitting, hiding down a driveway in Southern Tas.

William got onto it through a post on a local Tassie VW page from a good friend of the scene, Adrian Palmer. A couple of calls and 3.5 hour drive south and a deal was done.

The recovery was the hard bit with the bus half sunken into the earth and loaded to the brim with 31 years of paperwork, household goods, magazines and camping supplies, not to mention the couple of inches between the house and the shed to extract the bus!

Now 250km later and back up the north of the state, this 71 Bus will enjoy some much deserved time undercover until the next plan is hatched. Maybe another project for a rainy day, or maybe onto her forever home. Regardless the future has never looked brighter for the little Lowlight.

Enjoy the pics and thanks to Luke for the 7 hours in the car keeping William company and for sacrificing himself cleaning it out 😜

She’s back on the road!

A quick mechanical freshen up, a couple of new lenses and some minor tinkering, and the 61 Beetle has hit the road again for the first time since 2008.

William may be biased, but how good is this colour/trim combination. Surely the best there was in 1961!

If you see him out and about on a lazy Sunday, feel free to give him a wave ☺️

As another Tassievwpickers open weekend comes to a close, William wants to thank everyone that come along to have a dig for parts and to check out the wrecks. Here’s a few artsy shots as the day comes to a close.

Surely this bus is worth saving?

Now we all know the time and money that is invested in restoring a VW Kombi nowadays, but someone would surely be interested in this as a winter (or two winters) project.

Mostly complete, no engine and I’ll ever make sure the rear is cleaned out.

1970 Wide 5 Lowlight Kombi. Originally saved from Liffey back in 2012 by yours truly. Several owners later she has arrived back at Bellingham and now finally she needs to find her forever home.

$1200. Located Bellingham. 40 minutes north east of Launceston.

Photos form most of the description! Has a super solid top and A pillars but has the lower demons as they all do.
