The Appeal
While air-cooled Volkswagens are ripe for customisation, it's refreshing to see an original example every once in a while and that is exactly what we have here. This UK-supplied right-hand drive Bay Window Microbus underwent a period camper conversion by well-regarded UK specialist Devon. It's fitted with the firm's own elevating roof and hardwood cabinetry, both of a very high quality, that have stood the test of time.
This van is in very smart order throughout, while boasting a gentle age-commensurate patina. The vendor informs us that even much of the paintwork is original; quite remarkable for a Type 2 of this age.
Now that camping season is well and truly upon us, there's no better time to get your hands on a nice Microbus like this that's ready to enjoy.image.png2.28 MB
