The Appeal
While the Volkswagen Type 2 may be an icon of the '70s, the story didn't end with US and European production in 1979. Brazil continued building them for decades, all the way up until 2013. They only stopped when the Volkswagen boxer engine ceased production. These later Brazilian-built vans are particularly sought after - after all, they're far newer and generally more reliable.
These vans are now hot, hot property for camper enthusiasts - especially in right-hand drive, and of all of the conversions to get, it's undeniable that the Danbury conversions are amongst the most appealing. As a result, we expect that this handsome example to garner plenty of much-deserved attention.
Having proven its reliability on a round-Britain tour including Land's End and John O'Groats, this T2 ticks all of the boxes, with an advisory-free MOT until May 2026 and a handsome two-tone colour scheme.
