For Sale on eBay: Pete Townshend’s Camper Van

Someone on eBay is selling what they claim to be a VW camper van formerly owned by Pete Townshend of The Who.

Here’s the first part of the description:

TOTALLY UNIQUE. VW CAMPER OWNED AND LOVED BY PETE TOWSHEND AND PARTNER RACHEL FULLER. PERFECT CONDITION. LESS THAN 4500 MILES. MADE IN BRAZIL IN 2005 – SAME DESIGN AND STYLE AS ORIGINAL BAY CAMPER. ALL OF THE FUN WITH NONE OF THE HEADACHE. AIR COOLED.

Here’s more:

IT HAS A RAISING ROOF, MAINS LINE HOOK UP, COOKER, GRILL, SINK, JVC CD/RADIO PLAYER WITH 5 SPEAKERS, ROOF VENT, DVD PLAYER AND TV SCREEN. IT HAS LOWERED SUSPENSION AND A SPARE WHEEL WITH MATCHING PAINTED COVER. PERFECT TO DRIVE, THIS WILL NOT BREAK DOWN FOR ANOTHER 100,000 MILES!!(at least).

Here’s the part of the description that made me laugh out loud:

MANY A SAUSAGE SANDWICH HAS BEEN COOKED AND EATEN BY PETE IN THIS CAMPER. WE WILL BE SAD TO SEE IT GO. IT HAS BEEN SOOOOO MUCH FUN.

I thought sausage sandwiches were more David Bowie’s thing, but hey, it’s Pete’s camper. He can do what he wants in it.

The auction ended without the reserve price being met (starting bid was £10,000), but if you really want it, I’m sure you can contact the seller and cut a deal.
