We had a 1987 hymer that we bought for £4200 about 9 years ago. It was on a Ducato chassis, diesel 5 speed box and power steering. We drove it up and down to Spain twice a year for four years before selling it...For £4000. I recently heard from the owner that he's been all over Europe in the last 4 years and she has required only regular maintenance. They are amazing.
Andy, you rule! Bring him back, he adds so much colour and originality to your TV show. Missing John W, another class act, always remembered as the uncle I never had. :-)
Beautiful vintage van in mint condition. I hope it was left intact and not painted over inside. Wood work is very lovely. You can always brighten up with fabrics. Worth more left intact. Wish you had shown us the bathroom, kitchen, dashboard, and garage. A lot left unshared.
I hope to god they did leave it in its original condition. so many people buy classic Hymers because of theyre still fairly cheap then destroy them with a paint brush and their self-declared " creativity " !! assholes !!
Are they British people?? Very good deal, so surprised inside layout not bad specially idea bed over driving area at that time, how can it pass when this car is used on right side driving countries not left side as UK because driving seat and back door totally reversed with roads & streets of UK??
the host is kind of a weirdo. the way he commands the couple around also telling them what to do and not to to with their motorhome. if it was me the black water tank would end up in his face.
Beautiful rare motorhome. Good luck and thaks for a video

They sure keep their value

nice ! keeping things original is what keeps the value !
Watching it while sitting in my Mercedes Hymer 620D. What a beatiful Bedford Blitz.
Thanks - we did love it for sure.

@@justinlinnane8043 - yes, we did leave original
oh please show us the bed! plus a more extensive tour of the inside would be great. congratulations for a miraculous bargain :)
What a gem of a van
Literally a caravan glued to a van. I love it.
Beautiful & original,but we do like to make our own mark on things,it's just needs some fluffy cushions & a steam clean inside...a true classic😊
If she paints that wood she will regret it for the rest of her life because it can never be undone.
If you want to paint the cupboards then you paint them. Your van so enjoy it.
Excellent find
i have one almost just like this one hymer 582 Bedford Blitz, great spacious interior.
The interior space was very comfortable because we could each have our own double bed
Worth far now than you paid for it, as the man says, just clean & polish it, it's a classic ✌🏻🇬🇧😉
dont know if you still own it but its a very nice truck and i bet very comfortable
David Baker, I bought it off Neil 3 yrs ago, haven't changed anything. Thinking of selling it soon.
That is actually worthy £15- 17,000 as a classic now. in 10 years, a collector would pay easily £25-27,000
Bullshit
Unlocking Freedom Wrong. You can get old Hymers in ok to good condition for 1000£ to 7000£ not more.

"it's like a caravan on wheels" ?????? Aren't all caravans on wheels?
I like your motorhome
A time capsule!
im starting to think to own one in the future, save a bit and buy a good one that i can do some upgrades.
Hymer are in the top 5 motor home producers but they was number 1 back then and you can see why in this video
Mint condition,it's a steal

you can drive a left handed vehicle in the uk
wow what a beuty. love it.
We loved it too - it was part of the family - we named her Tallulah The T-Reg
Rather than painting she could "wrap" the cabinets like people wrap their cars.
Couldn't imagine that doing a round trip of 5000 miles
its probably got 50,000 on the clock
A caravan on wheels would look very peculiar, as a caravan already has wheels 🤓
What the typ Hymermobil BS 582 or 581 ?
582 Opel Bedford
Did you ever update it?!
no - we took the advice of Andy - and glad we did
Not 2 bad 👍👍
It’s older than my Nan!
Great review. It is pronounced Hume - er by the way, not "Hime - er"
I thought it didn't need an MOT if it were over 26 years old
no thats tax
All vehicles on UK roads need MOT, except from June this years when there will be exceptions for older vehicles
3200 seems silly cheap ?
del boy motor co?
was so lucky
Mitcham Surrey. That’s where I live. Bad news. It’s probably stolen lol.
the host is kind of a weirdo. the way he commands the couple around also telling them what to do and not to to with their motorhome. if it was me the black water tank would end up in his face.
alot of money for that
rudy C lol, not really.
Buckingham palace
Lovely bargain!
3200 for that😡u must be joking
Yeah, it was a right bargain. Should have been at least double that
Jane, do what you want. It’s yours! That guy is irritating!
what a bargain
You robbed the previous owner. This vehicle home does not need anymore M.o.t.'s
I'd value this hymer around £26,000.00
yes it did need MOTs, and it got them every time without a problem
How many pills has he had?
Horrible.. Would rather sleep in the field with no cover
rob p moron
Oh no you wouldn't - not really, eh?
