The Appeal
Owing to their popularity as camper vans, it's rare to find a Volkswagen Type 2 that hasn't been subject to some sort of conversion at some point in its life. This 1972 panel van is a rarity, not only because it's still a lined commercial, but also because it's in such fabulous condition, benefitting from a comprehensive recent restoration.
It has a rich history, from delivering ladies' lingerie in Naples, to being a mobile florist business in the UK after the original owner's nephew imported the van to the UK in 2018. Offered with an advisory-free MOT, this van has been given a clean bill of health, ready for its next owner.5J9us5bUc7AokFILFI2UdYhecx61nWzQtoNOKIiW.jpg2.29 MB
