Thank you, Crazy Restoration, for sharing this absolutely fascinating and inspiring video! Watching an Avia camper come back to life after 20 years of abandonment is truly a remarkable journey. This restoration project is not just about reviving an old vehicle—it’s about bringing history back on the road, preserving the past, and showcasing the incredible craftsmanship of vintage campers.

From the very start, the condition of the camper raised many challenges, and it was exciting to see how each problem was tackled with skill, patience, and expertise. The engine start-up process, after two decades of sitting idle, was particularly thrilling! The tension, the troubleshooting, and finally, the moment of ignition—what an achievement! It’s a testament to engineering, determination, and the passion for classic vehicles.

The attention to detail in this restoration is truly commendable. From inspecting mechanical components to fixing the bodywork, every step was handled with dedication and precision. Seeing this retro camper hit the road again is a powerful moment, proving that with the right skills and a love for restoration, almost anything can be brought back to life.

For anyone who loves classic cars, vintage campers, or restoration projects, this video is an absolute must-watch! If you’re fascinated by bringing old machines back to their former glory, make sure to subscribe to Crazy Restoration—their work is nothing short of amazing.

I also warmly invite you and all classic vehicle enthusiasts to visit my channel, where I share my travels across Belgium, Europe, and beyond! Let’s continue exploring together!

Levar um veículo desse para descartar no lixo é uma profunda falta de respeito com a marca. Ele merece ser recuperado e voltar a ativa novamente, mesmo pq ainda tem muito a oferecer! Parabéns para a equipe que salvou este veículo!

Saviem SG2! I had one of those in truck form, surprisingly good to drive for a 1960s truck.

Полно разных видел ( даже киношные), а в таком исполнении- дом, впервые

[HarryCurrie-ov]

Would make a amazing camper once renovated ❤❤

[neutonrenda]

Awesome, it looks like you all were having fun lol. So amazing how it started after so long, but those types of vehicles normally had tough motors.👍

[alexkramer]

Отсутствие гидроусилителя и большой радиус разворота. А так хорошая машина. У моего бати до сих пор в огороде стоит AVIA21F.😎👋👍👍👍

[tovarishdimov]

Didn't even know they had camper version. I know one abandoned Avia which has cargo space behind the cab and one old man used it as camp to protect his orchard from thiefs.

Ein Wunder, dass es für das Fahrzeug noch einen Schlüssel

[vladimirzigo]

[carlopedersoli]

[Ardhi_]
