The Appeal
Say hello to ‘Flo’ the camper. Recently repainted in striking Miami Blue and white, this is the sort of camper to draw positive attention wherever it rolls up. The interior is equally well kept, finished in a more subtle two-tone grey with recent additions, including a Vangear kitchen pod.
There is a recent voluntary MOT test from July 2024 to verify what you can see in the photos. It carries no MOT, supporting the impressive of a very well kept and presented van. The vendor acquired it last year and is including a comprehensive service kit with the sale.
Well specified and in great condition, Flo looks like a great addition to your 2026 holiday plans.
The vendor says:
“This is 'Flo', she is a completely original, unmodified example of the classic type 2 VW van. An absolute joy to drive at a nice sedated pace. A real head turner with the stunning Miami blue and white paint job. Always gets lots of attention when out and about.”
