Fantastic people to deal with. I’ve wanted a Karmann Ghia for years and found one at UK sports cars. Dealt with Sam all the way through the purchase process and was kept updated regularly on progress. Delivery today and the car is fantastic! Just what I wanted. Love it. Would definitely recommend dealing with them. They are excellent

We bought our 1967 split screen camper van from UK Sports Cars and had the best service and advice. It arrived today in brilliant condition along with lots of great communication and thoughtful information leading up to delivery. Sam has been excellent and Steve the delivery driver really great. So this is a five star rating to reflect the buying experience and customer care.

We purchased a 1967 Splitscreen from UK Sports Cars in April 2025. Sam made the process easy from start to finish. As we agreed to buy the bus prior to fit out, we were able to have input into the interior design, and some of the features. It has turned out a great bus, and we are very proud to have it join our family. We would recommend Sam and the team at U.K. Sports Cars to anyone considering taking the plunge into the world of VW T2 buses. Thank you, Sam. 🙌🏻

I bought my car from UK Sports last June (2024). It ran well making 2 long journeys of about 370 miles each before 'SORNing' it from December and re-taxing it from 1st April. The car was very well presented and demonstrated. There was no pressure to buy with my many questions being answered honestly. On the first day out this year it developed a fuel problem with what seemed a failed pump. While stopped, Paul drove by and pulled over to see what was wrong. After he left 2 lads from UK Sports arrived to tow the car to UK Sports. They found the fault and I collected the car the following Monday. The day after I made another trip of just under 400 miles. What more can one say, nothing but praise and thanks to all at UK Sports. The website is good with thorough descriptions of their cars. There is a good range of vehicles available.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with both Paul and Sam over several years from buying to trade in. As many reviewers and customers have stated, Paul and Sam place no pressure on sales, they communicate at a high level and want the best for all parties. They are approachable, proffesional and will ensure your journey/experience is the best it can be. I am an ongoing returning and fanatical customer to which they understand, make me feel valued and address my specific needs, even going above and beyond at times, a true testament of their proffesional working ethics and morals. Their working ethos and workmanship is of high quality and one I trust in. Thank you Paul, Sam and the Team, you really are hidden gems in this world.

Calm, knowledgeable and not a pushy sales environment - Paul knows his stuff and spends as much time as you need going over the details. Great place to buy a specialist high quality car. Dan

Paul and his team diligently went through the car and got lots of tricky things right before I picked it up. They were so professional and I felt their genuine passion for Lotuses, came through in their customer service. Their eagerness to assist with my many questions, and requests, made the whole purchasing experience a pleasure.

1 Previous Owner, 1972 VW T2 Camper Van. Meticulously Restored. Superb Specification. Reconditioned Engine. Stunning Pastel Yellow. Pop Top Westfalia Roof. Walk Through. Bespoke Interior. Here is Sophia, a remarkable bus and one of the best you are likely to find. Left Hand Drive. Walk Through meaning that you can move from the front to the rear without the need to exit the vehicle. This bus was imported from California in 2017 and formed the ideal basis for restoration having only been subjected to a hot and dry climate over the previous 4 decades.RestorationThe bus has undergone a comprehensive and detailed restoration by VW camper van specialists.The quality of the work has been completed to a very high standard and that comes from people who look at classic vehicles with a critical eye, having done this our entire lives. The shell of the bus was stripped right back, soda blasted, etch primed and carefully prepared and painted in this beautiful sunflower yellow / champagne colour scheme. I have to say this is the most beautiful shade of yellow we have ever seen. It almost yells out take me to the beach or out for a picnic when you look at it!Refurbished original wheels, polished hub caps and brand new white wall tyres fitted (March 2025). Bumpers and wheels painted in Lotus White to compliment the stunning coachwork. Pop Top roof stripped, restored and also painted to match. New roof canvas with zip opening mesh inserts, all new roof seals installed at the same time. No expense spared.Mechanical & ElectricalThe 1600cc engine was fully rebuilt and the mechanics were overhauled at the same time. The bus has been checked over and the underside presents well as you would expect from a dry state import. New wiring loom and fuse box. Sony Head Unit & speakers. USB charging Ports New battery recently fitted.240v Mains Hookup.12v Leisure Battery, Split Charge Relay & USB Charging Points.Comes freshly serviced.Interior & GeneralBrand new wood rimmed steering wheel, horn push and boss (March 2025) Bamboo under dash tray (March 2025) The bus has always been garaged without fail and the previous owners even modified their garage specifically for Sofia to live in. This bus has been loved and cared.Really pleasant interior featuring a rock n roll bed. This acts as a 3 person forward facing seat and folds down into a large double bed. There is an additional buddy seat opposite with storage space underneath. This means you can all sit around the stowaway pedestal centre table!There is side facing cabinetry offering plenty of storage as well as a sink / two hob gas burner and a 12v fridge / freezer. Everything you need and more for a short of long camping trip!The bus is technically a 4-berth model, although I would suggest putting an awning up if you want a bit of personal space. The good news is this is not an extra that you will have to buy as included in the sale is an Olpro Cubo Breeze V2 Campervan Awning costing £425, that has only been used twice. Fully reupholstered throughout including all seats and door cards in Champagne vinyl, a perfect complement to the pastel yellow colour scheme. Curtains throughout.The pop top roof has its own lifting double bunk bed which is ideal for children or alternatively a very useful space to store bulky items and free up the main living area whilst camping. The bus has front seat belts and rears could also be installed if required upon request. Please remember that we are VW Camper Van specialists with a vast amount of experience in this industry and are able to discuss and potentially offer any modifications that you desire. Please contact us if there is anything in particular you desire to fulfil your camper van criteria. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a superb bus that is ready for a loving new home. The bus comes freshly serviced and with 12 months MOT, even though no longer a legal requirement providing a third party unbiased inspection on the vehicle. Road Tax exempt and generally cheap to insure. Delivery can be arranged nationwide / worldwide upon request.
