The Appeal

Classic car ownership should be about making memories, and you'll certainly have some unforgettable experiences in this Volkswagen camper van. Perfect for camping adventures with all the family in tow, these vans are some of the most usable classics on the market, and we're delighted to offers such a smart right-hand drive example.

Offered in very good condition, this Microbus comes with an extensive history file, which even includes an original bill of sale from Elm Autosales LTD of Wimbledon.

Affectionately known as 'Bluebell,' this VW has been in the current owner's care since October 2014. It benefits from a replacement 1,641cc engine fitted in 2016, equipped with electronic ignition and twin carburettors. The camper interior features a pop-up roof, original bunk beds, a Rock and Roll bed, a small sink and gas hob with grill, and seat belts front and rear, making it a practical proposition for trips away.

Recently serviced, 'Bluebell' was also voluntarily put through an MOT in November 2025 despite being exempt, offering additional reassurance. This is a well-cared-for Type 2 that looks ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.
