The Appeal
Rugged, versatile and still a common sight on the roads today, the Volkswagen Transporter (T4) is a long-standing, successful type that has built an impressive following. Known in America as the EuroVan, they’ve been converted into everything from camper vans to street food vendors.
This example has been beautifully cared for, fully restored and has been re-engined with the impressive 2.5 Turbocharged engine - resulting in a ‘95 T4 that feels close to how it would have been when leaving the assembly line.
