Very nice! 😍 would love one of those, if I had the money...

£18,000!

 

Part restored as well, so what are they saying it's a £25,000-£30,000 car once finished??

 

Really?

So very rare, a lot went out to Japan.

If you think that one's weird check this one out

Rare doesn't always mean valuable though, it can quite easily mean weird and unwanted.

 

Is there a big market in collecting old camper vans?

 

Another thing worth considering about this 'part finished restoration'

Check out the date on these pictures, this thing has sat for 20 years now - it's restoration parts will probably need restoration by now.

Certain campers are very sought after, just look at  VW splittys. They have become unobtainable for most people and the 'splitty effect' is filtering down to other makes, and prices are rising, but the Wildgoose has always been coveted by many. Whether it makes the kind of money the seller wants is yet to be seen but this is the first one I've ever seen for sale so it will be interesting to see.

The only other one I can see that sold was another resto project back in 2014, made £8800 at auction.

I took this photo of the 1965 Mini Wildgoose which is from BMW's Historic Mini collection at the 'MINI Plant Oxford Family Day' in 2011......it can usually be seen on display in the Mini Plants Museum if you go on a Factory Tour visit.

Very nice, with the wind up roof section too

We were at the Southern Motocaravan show a couple of years ago in a display of '60s campers and this one was parked close by

 

 

count the beds

count the beds

 

 

Double on the floor and a hammock thing up top wasn't it??

 

Those ones on the sides were meant for sitting, although I spose you could fit a couple of small kids on them as long as they don't roll off during the night.

Yep five berth. Wouldn't like to be the one who needed the toilet in the middle of the night, especially if you were sleeping in the top bunk
