The Appeal
Is there any van more legendary than the Volkswagen Type 2? We'd hazard a guess there isn't. Synonymous with the open road and the spirit of the '60s, the combination of simple engineering, appealing design, and highly efficient use of space has made these vehicles beyond iconic - perhaps one of the most famous ever designed.
This particularly fine camper converted Type 2 is a standout example. What sets it apart is the quality of its extensive restoration, which was meticulously documented and includes a wealth of service history. The combination of a fully rebuilt 1,915cc Type 4 engine, genuine VW Brazil cab doors, and a host of modern conveniences makes this camper van a reliable and enjoyable companion for any adventure.
