The Appeal
For many, the motor car represents freedom, and none more so than the Volkswagen Type 2 camper van - a home you can take anywhere with you. Beloved of the free-thinking since the 'hippie' movement of the 1960s, these vans are still a fixture of seaside holiday towns, music festivals and just about anywhere else where there's fun to be had.
This 1973 example has been cherished by its current owner for fifteen years, during which time it has been stored under a carport and maintained for regular use.

The camper is well-equipped with a cooker, fridge, sink, rock and roll bed, wardrobe, and hook-up facility with three-pin plugs installed. The interior presents well with re-upholstered seats, while the bodywork is described as reasonable for its age. Recent mechanical attention includes refurbished front brake callipers and new shock absorbers, and the vendor reports the engine starts well and is a good runner.
