An established VW Camper search and inspection service that reduces the risk as much as possible in you buying an unsuitable vehicle. The service covers all air-cooled VWs and air-cooled Porsche 911. Searches: I start by asking you for a list of essential requirements by email and listening very carefully to your specific needs, then search accordingly. With over 30 years experience working on air-cooled Volkswagens and Porsches, I search my contacts and the national and international market for you. For vehicles found in the UK, I charge a non-refundable advance fee of £700 (no vat) which covers my time and UK travel to any suitable vehicles and realistic price negotiation with the seller on your behalf. I gather as much information by asking the right questions of the seller and checking on-line pictures first before wasting a visit. Once I find something suitable (usually within 
2 months), I send you an email with picture(s) of the vehicle before going to look at it. If you like the look of it, I visit and do a full inspection and test drive then send you new pictures and a vehicle report via email. If you want to proceed with the purchase, I negotiate the best possible price for you with the seller. Then I put you in touch with the seller to discuss and send the deposit/payment for the vehicle and collection/delivery arrangements. I can deliver the vehicle personally at an extra cost - price dependent on the vehicle being road legal/location/agreed insurance cover/return train fares and your deadline. If I find a suitable vehicle for you overseas, there would be additional charges to cover further expenses incurred in viewing/shipping/import/registration/UK MOT/delivery. Obviously these costs vary depending on timescales and where the vehicle is located, but all costs are confirmed clearly before you proceed. If you require more than one vehicle, reductions are available set at the start of a multiple search. No refunds are available after you have paid to proceed with a search. Inspections: If you have found a vehicle you like, I do a thorough visual survey inside, outside and underneath, plus a test-drive over as long a distance as possible in each case, where experience highlights any problems. This is not a ‘tick-box’ assessment but an evaluation of the full characteristics of an old Volkswagen. I send an emailed report usually later the same day, with pictures taken on the day and a current market valuation. This costs £100 plus travel at 75p per mile, one way from Ringwood, Hampshire. Inspections are usually possible at short notice any time on weekdays and are usually possible at weekends in mainland UK with at least 3 days advance notice - please ask. Please read these Terms and Conditions before proceeding: Each VW Camper is unique and different in character, condition and driving characteristics and everyone’s expectations are different. Therefore it is not possible for me to guarantee any aspect of any vehicle will be exactly how you want or expect it to be, so no guarantee, warranty or refund is available for any reason. Please do not proceed if you do not accept this. The £700 search fee has been calculated from an average figure to cover any length of search, so 
I am unable to provide a refund if I find a vehicle in a short time, or if you buy a vehicle that you find after asking me to search, or if you change your mind after paying for this service. Any vehicle can develop faults at any time without warning, so I clearly state that I offer no legally binding guarantees as to the condition, suitability or reliability of a vehicle I find, inspect or work on. In the unlikely event of you not being happy with the service or any aspect of a vehicle, 
I cannot be liable or provide any refunds. Timescales for finding a suitable vehicle vary enormously due to the availability of suitable vehicles on the market at any time at the right price, so I need to allow at least 2 months for a search, but sometimes it can take longer and a fixed search deadline is not possible. At the start of any work, please send me an email to state you have read and agree to these Terms and Conditions, thank you.
