Campervan: Bonita

Welcome to Bonita. She is younger than she looks. Enjoy the character and charm of a classic VW camper. Take yourself back to the carefree days of the 70s and what better location than Lyme Regis? The crown of the Jurassic coast with beautiful bays, cliffs and views, you will be on the Devon plus Dorset Border, and a short trip to Cornwall, indubitably the most stunning coastal areas in the UK . We will give you lots of tips and advice of the best places to visit. Bonita Mexican for beautiful is a classic VW camper with a difference. She was not made in the 70s but 40 years later with a modern watercooled VW Golf engine, better brakes, more power and proper heating, making her far more reliable than the older ones. A 70s T2 will struggle to do 65mph, however, Bonita has all the looks but will do 80mph with ease, get you up hills and do 30mpg instead of low 20's. VW ceased production of the T2 in 1979 but then continued in Mexico till 2013. She has lots of room with the pop top roof, a 2 berth, and comes with heaps of home comforts. Expect a Goodies Hamper, Kitchen equipment, Bluetooth speaker, USB charger, Water container, Hook up cable, Camping chairs, and a Picnic blanket. We can get a full gas bottle for you prior to your trip at cost. We prefer you bring your own bedding towels but can be provided at a small additional cost. This is a much newer than average T2, but still a classic design. The steering will be a liltle heavier and the gearbox requires a delicate touch. But you will soon get used to driving her and these add character. The van is also a lot more compact than a modern camper, and they are far easier, less daunting to drive around the tight country lanes in the South West. We are happy to pick you up from Axminster station if that helps. Bonita will give you a wonderful unique and memorable experience in this stunning part of the Country.
