| I quite like that one. But there have been some truly shocking Beetle van conversions over the years. That one is very over priced too, about half that would be more realistic, IMHO. |

They're advertising their service to build the conversions, says it's less if you supply the base car. At any rate, that looks very well finished, one of the best I've seen yet.

So, basically, it's a PT Cruiser.
However, I like it.

I guess it would be cool rocking up in a van like that if you're a delivery driver or a builder or something

Yea you can clearly see the upper right section was shopped, the reflections from the lower half aren't there.

As gifter says they are just using the pic for illustration purposes for the conversion they are flogging
THey have just photoslopped the logo off it.
Definitely one of the better built Bug vans.
Love this shot of it

The amount a builder would have to charge for a custom job, and the price you as an owner would get for the vehicle in a private sale, are two different things. I personally think 16.000 pounds would be about reasonable for a one off built to order to that standard, assuming the car is as good as it looks. Now, if you wanted to sell it on, the value is anyone's guess.
