## Description

Our gorgeous camper comes in Turkis Green and, despite its years, has been looked after without regard to cost.

A previous owner fitted an amazing sound system to it with an enormous subwoofer and amps, so, if you're into your music, you won't be short on sound!

We took her off the road for a refit in the winter of 2021/2; the old canvas roof has been replaced and the hammocks have had their material replaced by a very strong canvas. The weight limit is around 9 stone per hammock. We also fitted an electric windscreen washer - which works a lot better than the original.
The sink works on a foot pump - now working after 15 years of non-use - and it does not have a built in stove, that is stored in the van and can be used with a table outside - which is provided. It does not come with an awning but it does have a very large tarpaulin which can be used in inclement weather! 

It drives very well and the additional twin carbs means that, unlike the original engine, it has enough power to up most hills without dropping to second! All the original instruments are in place, so heating is poor but a small amount of heat can be pulled in from the engine. That said, the heater controls do not work. We have just fitted an electric hook-up, so you can can connect to the grid in campsites that provide this. 

We do not supply bed linen, duvet, mattress cover, under sheet or pillows - please bring your own if you are sleeping in Mary.

Update: March 23, she has just been fitted out with a new engine and a fabulous power steering system. No more muscles of iron need to park! We have also fitted a state of the art electrical system to ensure proper charging for the utility battery.

Update: May 2024 - new radio fitted.

We are located 5 minutes walk from Thames Ditton station, so dead easy to get to if you don't fancy leaving your car.

Mary is our pride and joy and we love going out for trips in her - the reactions and chats from onlookers in unbelievable!

We think you will love her as much as we do.

My sister and I had such a fantastic trip in Mary - who got as far as Scotland! She was a superb drive and very enjoyable to be behind the wheel of. Hywel was absolutely fantastic and you couldn't find a better person to deal with. 

### Lavell - 5.0/5

Mary was fantastic fun and got loads of attention on the road!  Hywel was the best to book from - answered all my questions prior to actually booking and was super helpful thereafter.

Mary is a beautiful VW T2, and unlike many, a complete delight to drive. Hywel is also a pleasure to deal with - excellent communication and dealt with everything very quickly. Highly recommended. 

### Jon - 5.0/5
*July 2023*

We hired Mary after my camper broke down the week before my sisters wedding... a beautiful machine and a real head turner. Very sad to not be in mine, but it was the next best thing!! Thanks guys. 

### Karina - 5.0/5
*June 2023*

We had an amazing camping trip with Hywel's campervan- Mary! Hywel was really responsive, informative, and easy to reach whenever we had questions. The campervan was fully equipped with everything we needed, and our girls absolutely loved the included hammocks. We're already planning our next adventure with Mary!

### Stephen - 5.0/5

A truly memorable experience and a real treat to drive.  Hywel was excellent throughout and made the hiring process very easy.  

### Abigail - 5.0/5
*September 2022*

She was beautiful and very well equipped. We got lots of admiration on the campsite! It was great being able to take our bikes. 

### Jaromir (Jez) - 5.0/5
*July 2022*

A beautiful Bay Camper, I meant to write a review earlier but forgot. Brand new bedding, extremely comfortable, amazing sound system but slightly challenging keeping the revs up if you’re not listening to the engine, so best to have the stereo down at the traffic lights.. very friendly and helpful from start to finish - a real pleasure to organise and drive.
