The Appeal
The Volkswagen Type 2 is one of the most recognisable and beloved vehicles on the road, a symbol of freedom and adventure that has captivated generations. An accessible and characterful route into Late Bay ownership, these models have earned a loyal following in their own right.
Affectionately nicknamed 'Percy,' this green-and-yellow 1975 Late Bay campervan has been in the care of its current owner since 2019 and has been kept in dry indoor storage throughout that time. It has benefited from regular annual MOTs and servicing, as well as a meaningful programme of mechanical work, with engine work and a tune-up carried out by marque specialist Absolute VW. The vendor tells us the engine runs well, starts easily, and will happily cruise all day at 50mph.
Inside, the van is set up as a usable camper with a rock and roll bed, leisure battery, 240V electric hookup, handmade curtains, and a removable table, with plenty of opportunity for the lucky new owner to make their mark. It comes to market with an MOT valid to November 2026 and a host of included accessories, ready to be driven away and enjoyed or taken on as a rewarding light rolling restoration project.1009ce97-92f5-4c86-9f97-9212afded369.jpg155.79 KB
