The Appeal
At last, spring is just around the corner, so it's time to get ready for those camping adventures and get your hands on the ultimate classic home from home - the Volkswagen Type 2.
This 1978 Bay Window is a compelling candidate, with a recent replacement engine, well-equipped camper interior and desirable Westfalia elevating roof. It also has modern electric power steering and power assisted brakes, while the gearbox has been reconditioned. Presented in very good overall condition, as the photographs attest, this air-cooled VW can't fail to bring a smile to your face. The vendor remarks:
"The vehicle is called “Amelia” and has travelled far and wide, even going on holiday to the South of France to enjoy the sunshine. The LHD is definitely a plus for going to the continent.
"It's lovely to drive, a step back in time to yesteryear. The reconditioned gearbox and power steering are a real asset. I love the sound of the air cooled engine. Just as I always remembered it."image.png4.68 MB
