A revival is a-happenin’ thanks to those Cornish Surfer crowds. The vintage VW Camper Van is hitting the scene around the World with a huge splash! Mostly associated with the surfing scene, the VW camper has long enjoyed peaceful retirement at the bottom of the garden or buried in the European scrap heaps…until now.
Some outstanding renovations of this iconic VW have delivered automobile real eye-candy around the globe and as a result they are commanding huge sums of money (comparitively speaking). The demand for second hand VW Campers and Camper parts has rocketed over the past three to five years and this former RV of the 70′s bohemian family really has risen to a cult status particularly in the surfing community.
As iconic as it is, with it’s association in surfing circles and Cornwall, the cornish pasty business owner also stakes his claim on the camper. There are businesses out there who have adopted this icon as their catering van for selling pasties from!

I’ve always wanted a VW Camper but unfortuntely the revival means even ropey examples are fetching a high price – shame
