Hand Built Individual Interiors

Sheila

This is Sheila, she is an Australian import and one of the best vans I have ever worked on, ''A real beauty''. Her owners Lee and Shirley were involved with the build every step of the way and it was a real pleasure to work with them both and build there dream for them. The units were constructed from cherry with the grey speckle worktop and Smev hob/sink combi which saves loads of room on the worktop, complete with full 12v and 240v electric system, on board water, on board gas with external BBQ valve, and A table that can be used outside on A tripod. Everything was ready to go when Lee and Shirley picked Sheila up from me, in fact the very next weekend they had there maiden voyage to the Lake District.....Very nice.....The leather seating and side panels are by Chris at 'Trimming Tonic' and the curtains and tie backs are by Shirley herself, I think you will have to agree this is great bus.

Steve Bates T4

Another stylish T4 ready for Steve's snowboarding trips to Europe, I panelled this bus in a deep blue vinyl and fitted Seitz windows and large Heki roof light that have built blinds and sun screens, all the units are custom built in beech with a light grey speckle work top. With the high top it will comfortable sleep four. I fitted a full 12 volt and 240 volt electric system ready for the hook up on site, its been finished off with top quality upholstery that has a knee roll and buttons for that professional look. Upholstery by Joanne at J and S Upholstery

'Trudi'

Trudi's owners Natasha and graham are real VW enthusiasts, in fact Trudi is one of four buses in the family and after a two year resto project and a bit of 'magic' she has turned into a real head turner. We put the final touches to Trudi by fitting the new red roof canvas and building all the interior cabinets in a light beech, we built a custom buddy seat with top and front access to house the Fiamma bi-pot which makes it easily accessible. We also changed one of the existing bunks ( which if we are all honest are a bit narrow ) to a hinged platform bed that can be hooked back to roof so the standing height isn't compromised. There is loads of storage with a rear roof locker, wardrobe, cupboards and cutlery draw. I enjoyed building Trudi's interior because the whole bus is simply fun.
