Why you’ll love it

With so many Type 2s now converted into campervans or day-to-day vans, it’s especially nice to come across an example that has retained its original Microbus layout. This 1974 model wins you over with its well-cared-for presentation and elegant red-and-black livery, carried all the way through to the cabin.

The vehicle has remained largely faithful to its original specification, with the exception of a few interior appointments and a set of polished SSF Sprintstar wheels that give it a particularly striking look. Along with its many seating positions, it has a large, retractable canvas sunroof. The seller states this is an example with matching serial numbers, supplied with its valid Belgian technical inspection certificate.

The seller acquired this Type 2 in 2016. Since then, it is said to have benefited from regular maintenance, allowing it to start easily and run without trouble.

The seller adds:

“A very well-liked vehicle that turns heads everywhere it goes and earns plenty of approving nods. The drive is enjoyable and there are no nasty surprises.”
