From the seller: “For sale as a restoration project. A classic Hymer from 1983. The sister ship to the S660 on show at the Hymer museum in Bad Waldsee, Germany. Apparently it was a special build for Herr Halda, Hymer’s Technical Director.
This motorhome requires some work to restore it to a useable Classic 1980’s campervan, but once completed will be worth very considerably more than the purchase price.
It is currently standing in France. It is being sold, as is, without registration, and cannot currently be driven on the road. It will have to be transported to the buyer’s location by a recovery type vehicle. I can arrange this at the buyer’s expense (estimated @ 1,500 Euros).
There is some documentation and two sets of keys.
It is based on the Mercedes 2.9 litre, 5 cylinder diesel engine, with a 5 speed manual gearbox. It has covered 264,551 kms (165.344 miles). The engine starts and runs easily and the gearbox seems OK. I drove this vehicle in 2012 and it drove well then, albeit at very modest speeds (circa 80 kph max uphill and 110 kph max downhill in 5th gear). It has done very little mileage since then, so should, with a full service, be good for many more miles, if you wish to use it, more than show it. The engine and leisure batteries both showed a full charge on the meters on the control panel over the kitchen.”
