Description
This is the definition of no expense spared. Get yourself a cup of tea and sit and read just how impeccable this 1977 Imperial Orange Viking LHD Transporter is.
With 4 owners it found itself moving to the UK in September 1994. Where it found its loving home and has until now been living a life in Weston-Super-Mare.
It features a pop top viking roof conversion and plenty of storage space. Lovely handmade cupboards in the rear cab match nicely with the black leather interior seating. Each decision has been well thought through. The chrome Ripspeed pedals tie in with the chrome window winders and gear nob.
The 1977cc engine has a lovely roar of a tone to it. This is helped by the twin solex carburetors and specialist engine tuning it has received.
It found its way to Moores Motor cars VW specialists in Clevedon who have carried out extensive works to this vehicle. Sit back and have a read of the whole list of works listed below.
