***Please do not bid unless you intend to complete the purchase. Serious buyers only. Any fake or non-paying bidders will be reported to ***Viewings on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th March, get in touch to arrange a time.Meet Baba, my faithful companion and stubborn little vessel of adventures across Europe and the UK. Her entire interior has been lovingly hand-crafted using upcycled wood, antique treasure finds, and driftwood collected from the beautiful coast of Pembrokeshire. For a while, I was lucky enough to call her my home-from-home.
The dream was always to turn her into a cosy off-grid cabin on wheels. But life circumstances are shifting, and it now feels like the right time to pass her on to someone passionate who would love to continue the project and give her the next chapter she deserves.
She could be brought back onto the road as a campervan project, ready for more adventures, or become a beautiful stationary cabin space, a little off-grid retreat. I am hoping to pass her on to the right person with the energy, vision, and excitement to bring her next chapter to life.
