Hiredaisy.com has been around since 2009. Essentially this Kombi was bought to earn its keep. Daisy is a basic Candy White BraziBay with just a full width rear seat converting into a double bed. No other extras.
The Kombi is for sale on its own or you can buy the complete package of Campervan plus rental business. The url features highly in searches.
Ad claims 68,000 as the mileage, that could be kms. The bodywork needs attention and I'm surprised it has been left to deteriorate if this is a working Kombi. If the business was so successful, why not fix the paintwork?!
WX09 AOS MOT expires March 2016
Have a look and see what you think.

Actually this was first listed for sale almost a year ago on a camper hire forum as the complete business including the kombi. They originally wanted £18-£19k for the kombi and a further £10k for the business.

Works fine for me T but here's a copy of the post anyway, dated 14th Sept 2014:

Hi there I have owned and ran Hire Daisy, a 2009 Danbury VW T2 pure white people carrier conversion with rock and roll bed, since 2009. She is a beauty and I have had a healthy £10k per year turnover, apart from last year when we neared £14,000 due to corporate bookings. I have all the sales particulars ready to email to any interested parties. The van has been valued at between £18 and 19K, and the business (web domain and more importantly the Google search provenance which is priceless) at £10k. Even if you have an existing camper business it might be worth considering 'buying' the business aspect too of Hire Daisy to increase your enquiry base to another £10k to £14k per year and dominating the first page of Google with both your own and the Hire Daisy search outcome. Will split the sale if necessary but the two combined is a cute and profitable bundle for a newbie entering the market. The website has been recently updated to be fully functional across all gadgets and the enquiries increased as a result of this. I am selling Hire Daisy, as my other business The Beach Pad is growing faster than I can keep up with, and cannot do both on my own. Any enquiries please message me here, or info@hiredaisy.com. Apologies in advance to the owners of the forum if I am not allowed to do this? Or if there are rules - please advise as eager not to offend and extremely supportive of your forum. Kind regards Debi and Daisy the Van.
If they've had a min turnover of £10k for 5 years, that's a lot of hard work for the kombi and if they haven't bothered looking after the exterior I would be concerned about how well the mechanics and interior have been cared for.
In my experience, the better the condition of a hired kombi when presented to hirers, the better it will be looked after during hire and therefore when returned.
Hirers need to 'care' about the kombi in order to look after it for you, so if they can see that you don't really care for it yourself (by leaving rust to get increasingly worse and not having damage repaired) then why should they.
I agree .... That's why yours tallulah looks lovely each time we see it at Danbury . Very well cared for . If anyone on hear is looking to hire . Tallulah is your van

Got to agree strongly with the above statements, Tallulah looks gorgeous and is very well appointed, Daisy on the other hand looks boring and neglected. Some people's expectations are low, that rust problem will not be cheap to fix, I should know!
