The Appeal

Quite possibly one of the most desirable classic vehicles money can buy, the Volkswagen T2 continues to build a global following, thanks to its superb practicality, and charming nature. This, of course, is a second-generation T2, offering an impressively versatile Westfalia interior, the signature pop-top roof, and the iconic bay window.

This VW reflects plenty of care over the years, boasting an impressive collection of paperwork and history, as well as plenty of original components. In fact, the vast majority of the interior is believed to be original, and key attention has been paid to retaining original bodywork wherever possible. That said, this now 51-year-old Campervan sports a fresh coat of paint, a set of refurbished wheels with gleaming hub caps, a very tidy underside, and plenty more.

Now offered in excellent overall condition, with great mechanical health to suit, this T2 arguably presents fantastic value, offering the retro Camper experience, an envy-worthy finish and impressive collectability, for a rather low price.
