V W Bullibarn
We are a family business and have been buying and restoring VW Camper vans and Beetles for over 30 years. Please visit us or contact us for advice on purchasing, restoring or selling your VW. At the VW Bullibarn we specialise in the classic Volkswagen and operate from a wonderful old barn in a village just outside of Colchester, Essex.

Here the clock has gone back and our customers can take their time exploring the many camper vans and beetles we have for sale in the paddock. Les is happy to advise you on purchasing a camper van or beetle, buying parts to work on your own VW, your servicing/restoration needs or selling your VW for you.
Services
At the VW Bullibarn we specialise in the repair and restoration of the classic Volkswagen. We are happy to advise you and can cater for all budgets, providing you with realistic goals and expectations for your beloved VW. Servicing and repairs can be undertaken in these beautiful surroundings allowing you to feel part of and in control of the process.
Thinking of selling your VW? We may be interested in buying your beetle or camper van or we can sell your vehicle on your behalf. Many customers do not like the worry of advertising their vehicle, dealing with the enquiries, the hours spent waiting in and showing people around. We are happy to take all of this on for you.
This included dpf valve, flywheel, turbos rebuilt, and anything that needed doing at the time, recent new brake pads and new mot. It comes with the lifting roof that sleeps 2 has burner and sink, mains hook up and night heater. The customer has spent over 15000 in the last 2 years getting this camper into a van to keep forever unfortunately due to the scale of the camper he needs something bigger.
At VW Bullibarn we have an extensive stock of new, second hand and new old stock (genuine VW parts) for sale. We have all sorts of forgotten VW gems plus many different interiors, dashboards, tyres, wheels, seats, lights, air vents, rubber seals, panels, Westfalia cupboards and so much more. We can supply and fit parts to your Volkswagen on our premises, or if you are unable to visit us we can post parts to you, no matter the size and weight.
We have found that Customers feel greater confidence when buying from a garage and that people are often less comfortable selling their vehicles privately therefore we can sell your vehicle for you. Advertise it on our website and on Ebay Motors. We also run monthly advertisements with various VW Magazines and whenever possible will include your vehicle.

I purchased a van from the guys here and they have been a constant source of advice and help from point of sale to long after. If you're serious about getting a VW camper (and why wouldn't you be) this is the place to come.

Very pleased with the work done to my camper. Les fitted some ISOFIX brackets in the back for 2 x child seats. Nice and prompt service, good customer communication. Would strongly recommend.

We bought our second van from The VW Bullibarn and are so pleased with it. We drove it to France last Summer and will again this Summer. Les was super knowledgeable, honest and friendly. Love the wide selection of vans and the fact it’s a family business. Highly recommend.

Brilliant experience with Les at Bulli Barn. Took our 1971 beetle that had been in storage for 14 years for its first service with him. Running beautiful. Very reasonable price too. Will absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to take their classic VW there!

We first came across Les and the Bullibarn a few years back when they hired campers. When we eventually stumped up the cash for one of our own we knew exactly where to go. We are now the proud owners of a T25 and Les and Co. are helping us keep it on the road with their extensive knowledge of old VW's and honest, friendly and good value service. Highly recommended!

Les has been looking after my beetle past a few years. He isn't only an experienced mechanic but also friendly and helpful. I'll go back to have their service again.

Les at Bullibarn has sold two VWs for me and previously did lots of work on them over the years. Les is friendly, very knowledgeable and has always been honest and fair.

I booked my classic beetle in 6 weeks ahead of having the work done, ordered all the parts in myself at my expense.
I even called 48 hours before hand to check if all was still ok only to be told "I've had a very busy week and I am behind with workload"
I said the following week would be ok but need the car done by then as it was going to be our wedding car.
Was told the end of week or beg of following week wouldn't be a problem and my car would be done in time, well the time has come now and the car is still not done.
Didn't even have the decency to call me so I could have booked it elsewhere
