The Appeal
The Type 2 Volkswagen needs little in the way of an introduction. Named as such due to it being the second vehicle ever produced by Volkswagen, the Type 2 was designed to offer versatile, reliable mobility for the masses. It could be had as a van, as a minibus, as a crew cab, as a pickup and most popularly of all, a camper. Initially a split-screen design, the Type 2 would go on to evolve into what we have here, the ‘bay window’ version. It was a bit bigger, had better visibility, and it was slightly more spacious inside.
This example has been well cared for and comes with a good history of servicing and maintenance. Perfect for events or for wedding hire, this charming camper is ready and raring to go.

The History and Paperwork
- Current V5C present and correct
- Previous MOT certificates confirm mileage
- Receipts and invoices for maintenance and servicing
- Vehicle has been covered and in dry storage for the last year
Before moving to Yorkshire (where it has covered fewer than 1000 miles a year), this breezy pink and white ‘Bay Window’ camper lived in the warmer climbs of the south coast.
Presently arrayed as a wedding car, it is ready to go straight back into service, or, with little or no conversion, can simply be used as a summer tourer. That will just depend on how flamboyant you like your camper vans to be.
The vehicle was stripped back to bare metal and then built back up, meaning this lovely little camper presents very well. There is also a log of some of the servicing/light renovation done on the bus, including a brake refurbish in 2018 and an inspection and service in 2019.
The Exterior
With its virtually new chrome bumpers, oversized VW badge and pink and white paintwork, this T2 exudes a bright and breezy persona. The overall impression of the bodywork is good; no ripples or dents in the panels and the doors fit snugly. That big side door opens smoothly too.
The paint finish has a good gloss, though you will find some small untidy areas, such as on the seam of the driver’s side A-pillar where there is some bubbling under the paint. Some lower edges are not so well painted too. However, the chrome looks quite smart - particularly the bumpers and the hub caps. Of course, there are some minor blemishes and small amounts of pitting from age, but nothing that would concern us.
Up top, the rain gutters look good and the vinyl roof is in nice condition. The mesh sun visor has a small hole at one side, but is still a nice feature.
The Interior
The seats, trimmed lilac and white in the rear and white with lilac piping in the front, are all in good condition with no rips or stains, and no creasing to speak of. The pink and white dash is a little faded and the steering wheel/column chipped, but this isn’t going to spoil the ambience or the experience.
The inside walls of the minibus are chipped in places, and the headlining could do with a clean, though it does not sag. Underfoot, the sparkly purple carpet extends into the rear compartment, where there is a champagne cooler and a working bubble machine.
The interior has a light-hearted, airy feel, but could perhaps do with a slight refresh. Nevertheless, this quirky camper is ready to go as-is.
The Mechanics
Looking underneath, the chassis looks very sound. The main rails, cross members and outriggers all appear robust. The body floor also appears sound. Remember too that there was some renovation work to the underside in 2017 - bulkheads replaced and other welding done.
There is some surface rust along some edges and also on steering components, but both these and the suspension components look to be in very good working order.
The battery and electrical system have also been upgraded to 12 volts, making it far more modern and usable.

The 1,600cc engine appears tidy enough, showing no signs of significant leaks. There is some paint overspray on one or two components but noting that would in any way hinder the motor’s performance. H/T leads, belts and hoses look healthy, showing no signs of cracking or perishing. The vendor tells us that they have replaced all the fuel hoses, lines and filter in the last year too.
The Appeal
Volkswagen's Bay Window camper, in all its forms, has a devoted and enthusiastic following. This example has had some significant work carried out, has been kept in dry storage for the past year and is finished in an unusual and eye-catching manner, making it perfect for wedding hire and events. Or you could simply use it as a camper! Whatever the case, it's sure to bring a dose of cheer wherever it goes.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
