SB's Take

  • Ready to be enjoyed by the next owner
  • Stacks of paperwork
  • 1.6 litre twin-port petrol engine, 4-speed manual gearbox
Always appreciative of any vehicle that has bona fide cult status, SB are delighted to offer this Volkswagen T2 Bay Window Campervan, boasting a coveted Pop Top Roof, in right hand drive. First registered in March 1973 it is equipped with an air-cooled 1.6 litre twin-port petrol engine mounted in the rear and a 4-speed manual gearbox. Retaining much of its original Devon Conversion interior, this T2 is upholstered in a vintage blue hue of the 1970s and features a kitchenette complete with a working two-ring hob, grille, and sink. Offering lots of storage space, as well as a rock and roll bed and two hammocks, this T2 Camper is ideal for any young family or indeed any generation of traveler who appreciates the flexibility - and fun - that a VW Campervan provides. While there are a few areas that could use cosmetic improvement, the owner asserts that this delightful Bay Window camper is mechanically sound and ready to be enjoyed as is. The five-digit odometer reads just 21,350 miles, but it is estimated to have covered 121,350 miles over the course of its lifetime. An honest example of T2 Bay Window Campervan that is ready to go - or to be improved at the buyer's discretion - buyers should bid with confidence. As always, the seller is available to answer any questions.
