The Appeal
While the bread-like aesthetics of the classic surfer van are long gone, there's no denying that later, larger Volkswagen vans are still a golden pick for a comfortable, rugged and reliable camper van. In fact, it could be argued that the bigger they get, the more practical they become as a living space.
This particular model was converted by Platinum Wave Campers in May 2020 into a fully equipped camper van. The interior features a pop top roof, microwave, gas hob, fridge, sink and a fully functioning leisure battery, offering a top-notch living environment while out on the road. It can comfortably accommodate up to 4 people for camping.
The van has been re-mapped to 140bhp from 98bhp. With a full service history and MOT valid until 16 October 2024, this is bound to be a rewarding purchase.
