The Appeal
Let's face it: our beloved Type 2 vans aren't getting any younger. In the age of 'Smart Motorways' and fast-moving traffic, these aged camper vans need all the help they can get.
That's where this one comes up trumps.
Upgraded with a 1.9-litre Peugeot turbodiesel engine that will undoubtedly go on and on, this camper-converted 'Bay Window' Microbus is among the most usable on the market today. Moreover, it boasts a Dormobile elevating roof, new interior and repainted bodywork.
It comes with a vast collection of paperwork spanning many years, including previous MOT certificates and servicing invoices. The DVLA classifies it as a 'Historic Vehicle', making it tax/MOT-exempt and ready to enjoy.
It won't be long until Spring comes around, so now's the time to get your hands on a classic camper for those summer road trips.
