The Appeal


The roof of a van, drives like a station wagon - that's why the T3 became known as the Vanagon in the US. Despite being heavier, larger and perhaps even more utilitarian in looks than its predecessor, the Type 3 kept up the camper's reputation for versatility, reliability and free-spirited comfort. 

This example, recently imported from the USA, has undergone a recent overhaul, and now comes to us in fine fettle. This fabulous retro van has been fitted with new tyres, brakes, and various engine components, ensuring it's ready for the road while maintaining a fabulous patina.
