If you’ve never felt the call of the open road and the Gypsy life you’ve missed out big time. I was lucky enough to have six months on the road touring Europe this way and the memories have lasted a lifetime. For the best cost saving fun holiday you will ever experience buying a camper takes some beating.

Imagine parking up in the wild Pyrenees, or on a headland commanding the world’s biggest waves at Nazare in Portugal, or on a beach near Venice, or a hill overlooking breath-taking Lake Garda and Como in Italy – and these five-star views all yours for peanuts.

If the idea appeals to you then Classic Car Auctions might have just the vehicle to see this dream turn into a reality- coming for sale at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show Sale on 24th – 26th March.

This stunning camper, affectionately known as ‘Colin The Camper’ with its Retro-styling with a modern twist, refinished externally in eye-catching Blue over White was restored in 2021 by Mike Brewer and Elvis on ‘Wheeler Dealers’ . Upgraded with a 2.0-litre Pinto engine and automatic gearbox its bodywork has been fully refurbished and the interior refitted with new cabinets and accessories. It is guided at £14,000 - £18,000.

Charles Smalley who consigned the vehicle for CCA, says: “Fully retrimmed including a new roof canopy, the restoration was fully documented on the TV show and can still be seen on social media and You Tube. Its as ideal little camper historic events, shows and general fun and enjoyment, perhaps even as an air B&B.”
