Highlights

- Refurbished camper interior
- Classic 13-window design
The Appeal
Such was the popularity of the Volkswagen Type 2, it would long outlive Wolfsburg production which came to an end in 1974. Factories in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil would continue to produce this air-cooled icon, the latter until 2013!
Here we have one such Brazilian example, built in 1996. It's recently been given a new lease of life, benefiting from a resprayed exterior and chassis, as well as a refurbished camper interior.
With an MOT valid until February 2024, this charming van is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.
