Introduction
A recently restored ex-east coast van with camper facilities - simply perfect for a day trips and road trips.
Volkswagen's ubiquitous Type 2 van was more than an icon for the counterculture, it's interior packaging, reliability and durability became a capable workhorse across the globe. Its roots obviously stem from the Beetle, but unlike its little sister that spawned tens of dozens of variations, it can be recognised as two distinctly different vehicles. Early Split Screen versions are firmly planted in the collectors market and often command huge premiums, so the later Bay Window versions become the next best option.
In truth, these post-1967 versions are a lot easier to live with, more powerful, safer and stronger and they've become just as respected as the original. With more than 6 decades of production, the VW Type 2 is one of the most significant Volkswagen’s which helps cement its reputation as a popular choice for many people looking for a cool yet practical leisure vehicle. This means that there are literally hundreds for sale at one time, so you can afford to take your time and pick the best.
Andy's 1972 T2 Campervan benefits from being an American East-coast import, which means it has been preserved by the lack of humidity and that heritage adds to the credibility of these surfer tinged buses. In addition to this, it has benefited from a total UK restoration with accurate originality following its arrival to UK shores in 2013, and is fully furnished for day trips, holidays or potential hire.

Hi Greg haven’t sold the van yet I spoke to a guy on Thursday who might be coming through from Leeds on Monday to have a look at the van.
If you have any questions please get in touch.
Kind Regards

Good luck, too many unanswered questions for me to bid higher. Looks like a good van though.
Seems a shame that questions don’t get answered or not published. I would have considered bidding had realistic answers been provided, not just mine, but the rightful queries about the engine from another bidder. Good luck with the sale.
Hi, I notice it has a centre mount carb. Can you please advise if any maintenance has been done to it. I’ve not seen that set up of a carb on a Type4 engine before. Normally they have Dual carbs or FI.
Also can you confirm if the heaters are operational. From the photos it looks like the engine compartment heater booster fan is missing. Thanks.
Hi, I’d like to come and view the van. How do I arrange this please.
Hi, we can help arrange this. Please give us a call tomorrow on our office number. Best, Kulraj – Trade Classics
