The Appeal
Love adventure and classic motoring? Then the Volkswagen Type 2 is the vehicle for you. With its air-cooled flat-four engine and simple, purposeful layout, the T2 offers a style of travel that modern motorhomes, no matter how well-equipped, simply cannot replicate.
This example has not been left to gather dust. It has been in the hands of its current keeper for approximately a decade and has been used regularly for trips across the length and breadth of the UK, including a Land's End to John O'Groats run in 2021. A reconditioned engine was supplied and fitted in 2020 alongside an extensive front-end mechanical rebuild, and the vendor reports that only routine yearly maintenance has been required since. The interior is described as tidy and minimalist, featuring a full-width rock and roll bed with matching curtains and mattresses. A useful selection of accessories is included, among them a bike rack, a freestanding kitchen unit, an outdoor weather cover, and pop-top sleeping boards.image.png1.47 MB
