Description
Our amazing sunshine yellow 1972 T2 VW Campervan is up for sale for a now reduced £20k O. N. O (registration OVO 749M – feel free to check its MOT history).
We are having our first child in May and need to sell our beloved camper quickly to fund our new arrival. As one member of the family goes, another comes in! ‘Dubbie’ (though feel free to change the name) is a 1972 T2 VW Campervan (registered 1973) who has been a wonderful companion on trips all around the UK and has proven incredibly characterful and surprisingly dependable.
She has a pop-top for standing up in it, and always gets admiring glances, waves and smiles. We have booked her in for a full service and MOT on 5 April 2022, and are happy to include this (and any work that might be needed as a result) in the price so the buyer has complete peace of mind. If we have agreed a price beforehand, we can always add in any other additional work that the buyer might want at the same time for ease. We also have a complete record of all the additions and work over the years. We thought it would be helpful to list out some of the many wonderful bits, and let’s be honest, some of the less wonderful bits too!
Pros
Totally re-upholstered interior to match the colouring – bespoke designed by Delilah’s and professional installed.
We have also bought matching interior upholstered side panels, which match the interior but we haven’t installed yet.
New Engine (fewer than 5, 000 miles since installation). This is a top-quality 1600cc engine by VW Engine Company fitted (at quite the cost!) in September 2020.
Brand new Rusty Lee rock’n’roll bed.
Brand new Battery (literally installed a few days ago)
New Tyres, Exhaust Pipe and Anti-roll bar.
Original Interior cupboards – this is a bit of a collectors item now and worth a few bob (we included a picture).
Includes matching yellow canopy, only used once. If you want, we are happy to throw in EVERYTHING else we have with it so you are ready to go, at your discretion. This is all bought in the last two years and in good condition. Includes a fire pit, bespoke window covers, table, all the cutlery, storage etc. You can have a good look at it all to decide for yourself.
Cons
Scratch – there is a slight bit of scratching (which I have included in the pictures so you can see) to the left hand side of the van. We can get a quote for this to be fixed at the same time as the service and MOT if you wanted it seen to, but it isn’t an urgent issue - mainly aesthetic.
Slight Rust – it is inevitable these vehicles will have some rust, and sadly Dubbie is no different. There are two areas of rust which we can point out when you look her over (i) a bubble on the lower front, and (ii) a little bubbling across the side panel underneath the mirror on the right hand side of the van.
The kick panel underneath the rock’n’roll bed could do with a little TLC.
Window wiper and horn are a bit temperamental, but we will get these looked at during the MOT.
We haven’t been able to get the tap inside the sink to work, but I reckon would be a very quick and easy fix for someone with a little know-how.
We are located in Kings Cross, London, if you wanted to visit the van and happy to answer any and all questions you might have. Please feel free to give us an email on using the button below or a text on the details below.
It really is a wonderful, characterful van and we really hope Dubbie’s new owner gets as much pleasure and fun out of it as we have!
Thanks, Ed and Harriet
