Hartley's ID
He has been stuck in the Potteries district for many a year and wants to get his feet out of the clay….
He is hoping Handy Andy can get his welder out on her in September 2009 but sure enough, she wants to be out and about sooner.
Hartley will have his interior re-installed a lovely Devon that sleeps 4.
Dauphine's ID
She has been buried in saddleworth moors for many a year now not open to the light or any adventures.
Dauphine is being taken from her sleepy hollow this Friday to Burnley were little Andy the tiny engine wizard will produce his magic and give her a new MOT and spruce up since she only needs a few cobwebs removed since her conversions are recent.
Noah's ID
He can’t wait since he’s fed up of being used occasionally by his previous owner and would love to have the Outback adventures he had in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
Now at the tail end of the noughties he will be living his dream – “Born Free!!!”
Bagpuss' ID
She is being painted at the start of August 2009 and is ready for hire.
She just had the seat tubs redone with the arches and got Mot’d on Friday 31st July 2009.
Miffy's ID
In her last 30 years she has been garaged in North Wales not seeing any sun or sea.
I rescued her and she does possess all her period fitments but needed a huge amount of restoration and I did not know if she was going to pull through.
Now she is only a few weeks away, freshly painted and interior and glass to finish.
She is smiling again and looking forward to tramping the ground and testing her new brakes.
Miffy will be ready in mid/late August 2009.
So when ready just relax is classic style having split screen queues and more modern bay underpinning.
Dorf's ID
He lived in Canada until 2003 and a army officer used to transport him from Germany to Canada.
Dorf has a rare Turret ‘splitty’ style roof that no UK Westfalia models have. So he is proud to show it off wherever he goes on your journey.
He has been in cold storage since December 2007 when he was suffering from a sick engine and after a few stop starts had his engine replaced from a Polish Westfalia which had travelled from Krakow to Manchester and now his heart beats on in Dorf.
He now has a fresh Reef Blue and VW pastel white colour and is ready for your adventure.
Dayglo's ID
We rescued her from her owner in Dartford back in December 2008.
She has a full history file and has had a good early life, we have just given her a full restoration and given her a snazzy Dayglo Green colour to push the 70’s in your face!!!
She runs with a 1600cc reconditioned engine that is eager to pull you along, just remember to take her gently and live life in the slow lane.

WHY Campervan Heroes? I have browsed the web and noticed other companies and do not see a sense of fun or adventure combined with a caring attitude like you would entrust your children to a local playgroup or school. Your family is safe with us and you can experience the VW community openness and togetherness.
Why We Value your Custom? We only have your enjoyment at heart. We want you to experience the VW Campervan family experience without the expense and upkeep of these classic heroes.
