Just spotted this on eBay, sounds like a self build.

It's a Peugeot Boxer. That's about all it has in common. :rolleyes:
 
What a misleading advert. 74k miles 2015 van base self build and he recons its a bargain at 31k!!!
 
I am not convinced about it being a true Autosleeper but maybe another Kingham owner will confirm my thoughts.
This is not the first self build with Autosleeper lettering on it. If it isn’t a true Autosleeper is this against trade description or some thing on those lines.
 
It looks very well-built. Why would you put Autosleeper's name on it if it isn't Autosleeper?

It says cash on pickup which is not something I would do unless they mean money must be transferred before or on collection.
There are plenty of VW Transporter conversions about but they do not pretend to be a California, the wording maybe legal Autosleeper spec but possibly misleading due to signage if it is not an autosleeper.
 
It says Autosleeper Kingham spec,which is misleading but I have seen this type of thing many times on adverts for caravans etc.

I would take it to mean that it is a copy of the layout of the Autosleeper.

Looks far too good to be an Autosleeper. The add says "Kingham spec" like you say why put Autosleeper on it.
A friend just sold his 2012 Autosleeper to a dealer for 30K I think it was a pile of poo compared to this conversion.
The add looks genuine looks like a very nice van.

Could be construed as misleading I have no idea if it is an autosleeper or not.
 
It doesn't follow the normal Kingham layout nor does it have the usual window configuration. A misleading advert but looks an ok conversion though.

All sounds odd,it says 2019 spec but the van is a 2015 with 7400 miles and I think Im right in saying the Kingham has metallic paint. Looks like a very nice build but it also has the wrong decals!
 
Looks nicely done but don't think I'd pay that for someone's home build regardless, it is very wrong to put the Autosleeper graphic on though as someone may fall for it.

Also the bed is terrible ... it's really only a wide single as there's nowhere for the outer occupant to put their legs, okay for someone who want's it to themself I suppose but no good for sharing.
