Having been refitted with a more contemporary replacement interior in 2020, the inside of this camper van is in very good order.
The seats have been retrimmed in red and cream vinyl to match the exterior colour scheme. The rear seating arrangement folds down into quite a large bed space and the vendor informs us that everything functions correctly.

Being fairly new, the kitchen cabinets appear to be in very good condition and have clearly been fitted well. The floor is now covered with a wood-effect lino that complements the veneer on the cabinetry.
Up front, everything appears to be in fine shape, with common areas of corrosion such as the cab corners appearing to be quite solid, displaying only a little surface rust. The carpeting is also very serviceable, as is the headlining.
The painted dashboard is very smart and now houses a modern stereo / navigation unit as well as the original gauge cluster and glove box.

Underneath the dash, we can see evidence of the 2020 rewire, making use of a more modern fuse board and electrical connectors. For camping, the vendor informs us that this type 2 has mains hook-up and an inverter connected to the leisure battery.
There is also a jack with the vehicle which the vendor reports is in good working order.
The Exterior
- Optional vented windows
- Devon elevating roof
- Now painted red and cream
The documentation that accompanies this camper van tells us that it was previously painted in Orient Blue and Pastel White. Now finished in red and cream, this van’s bodywork would appear to be in very good condition for its age.
There are some signs of corrosion around the sills, particularly in the lower bulkhead behind the driver’s door where a small hole has developed.
As is quite typical of these Volkswagens, the paint is blowing in a few places around the vehicle with some corrosion evident along the horizontal seam running parallel to the front bumper. The bumpers themselves appear to be in good, solid order.
Overall, this remains a very solid example of what is now almost a fifty year-old van. As part of the restoration work, the rear jacking points and floor pans have had some welding work carried out and we can see that the condition of the van’s underside is quite sound.

As an original Devon conversion, this Type 2 is equipped with an elevating roof, which is quite clean and works as it should. This 1974 example also has the vented rear windows, which was an optional extra at the time. The vendor also informs us that the van is supplied with solar panels and an awning.
This Type 2 sits on the correct Volkswagen wheels, which all appear to be in good shape. The vendor informs us that the tyres have ample tread remaining, including the rear mounted spare which is attached using a folding bracket.
The Mechanics
- 1,641cc engine replaced
- Gearbox refurbished
Mechanically, this Volkswagen is very sound, the vendor informing us that it runs, drives, changes gear and stops exactly as it should.
The vendor also reports that the 1.6-litre air-cooled engine has been replaced at some point in the past and the gearbox has been rebuilt.
Summary
With an updated interior, previously restored bodywork and rebuilt mechanicals, this Type 2 is ready to be enjoyed as is, or alternatively would be a worthy candidate to make really smart indeed.
Bay Window Volkswagens are becoming increasingly sought after and this Devon conversion is a versatile camper van that we’re sure will impress Volkswagen enthusiasts the world over.

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.
