Meet BlueBelle, our much-loved 1973 VW Bay Window Riviera finished in beautiful Neptune Blue with an incredible, honest patina that turns heads wherever she goes.
Imported from the USA, she is a genuine left-hand drive Riviera camper with the sought-after and relatively rare turret top roof. We've owned and cherished her for over 10 years and created countless family memories, but with a growing family and changing health needs, it's time for someone else to enjoy the adventures she's given us.

Well Cared For
BlueBelle has never been a neglected project. The bodywork and patina have been carefully preserved, with regular waxing every other year to protect the paint and maintain her character. The underside, cavities and hidden areas have also been treated with Waxoyl every other year to help keep everything protected.
Ready for Adventures
She starts, drives and sounds exactly as a classic VW should. Whether you're heading to a local show, a weekend campsite or a longer road trip, she's ready to be enjoyed.
A drive-away inflatable awning can also be included for the right price and has only been used a handful of times.
This is not a restored, over-finished show vehicle. It's an honest, original Riviera with bags of character, a fantastic patina and a history of being loved and maintained.
Viewings welcome. Come and see her for yourself. We're confident you'll fall in love with BlueBelle just as we did.
