The Appeal
The early Volkswagen Type 2 is one of the most iconic buses ever built. These diminutive buses are globally recognisable, and continues to be one of the most popular classics out there. This nine-seat Microbus was finished in Cloud White over Brilliant Blue with black leatherette upholstery and is understood to have been first registered in 1969 in the Philadelphia/Baltimore region.
Imported to the United Kingdom in late 2016 by Gary Tarrant of Coolcampers, it was converted from standard passenger configuration to a versatile day van. Its last owner invested in a range of meaningful mechanical improvements, and it has been professionally stored throughout its time in the UK.image.png1.61 MB
