May be a repost, but I haven't seen the original thread if it is.

I was expecting some HGV triaxle slide out race truck beast for that money. 
Looks nice but you can see from a few photos its not concourse. I'd normally endorse things going up in value as they get more rare but I definitely couldn't justify that sort of money on one with signs of being used.

I doubt it as 'mint' restored ones tend to fetch £20 - 30k easily, but £120k for a virtually original one just seems ridiculous!
(ie. can't see how it can be a typo with an extra 0 or whatever)

 that price is obscene who in their right mind would pay £120k for that

Don't see what's hard to grasp, classic original collectors car?
Was bound to reach prices like that at some point. Looks lovely if you're into that sort of thing.

That is a bit over the top but there's been one moreover expensive! £135,000!

It also says its a bespoke one for the owner of Devon cOnversions, so it's unique!

Agree with this. Obviously i would never dream of paying anything like that for a camper van but if this is the 'best' one to have then i can imagine some people wanting to pay that sort of money.

Only way it could really get rarer is If it was a 50's splitty, saw one yesterday but was just a bare shell

No way it's worth £120k.
Yes its a 23 window samba delux but that is worth around £60k tops.

This reminds me - I saw an 07 plate VW Camper the other day. What's that all about, did they re-release it?

Yeah brazilian imports. For knobheads that don't realise they could buy a splitty for the same money! That isn't made out of cheap metal etc

I'd love to buy one and rebuild it all, but I'd probably never use it and it seems a waste

never been a fan, don't see the appeal of driving somewhere really slowly in a tedious old roadgoing van with windows, then sleeping in it.
Would rather take a tent in a car or go to a hotel as they are all road accessible, or better still take the landrover 101fc V8 ambulance and drive up a mountain then sleep there whilst shooting eagles from the roof you can pitch a tent on.

yeah, lady round here bought one and drove it round everywhere when she first got it, thought she was the coolest chick around, then she crashed it and ruined it
