Introduction

Have the best of both worlds! A striking 1970s exterior look with a luxurious modern interior with top-quality fixtures and fittings.

I've had the van for almost a year and my family of five simply won't fit. A bigger van is needed for us, leaving a smaller family to enjoy this beauty!

Market Auction

Rory, the seller, has created this listing themselves using our free Market Auction tool. Unlike our Curated Auctions, we haven’t photographed the car or written the listing, however we have completed 3 important security checks for your peace of mind.

Rory provided a copy of the V5C logbook, which we verified against his photo ID for name and address confirmation.

Exterior

Eye-catching two-tone orange and black paint job in great condition, completed in 2015 with the rest of the van's restoration. There's also a Viking roof for extra beds upstairs.

Wheels and Tyres

Fuchs-style black alloy wheels and modern tyres with lots of tread left.

Bodywork

Very good condition - solid underneath with no rust

Paint

Full respray in 2015 that still polishes up very well

Glass and Trim

The glass and trim are all in good condition.

Interior

With this van there is no downside. It looks retro outside, but inside you have all the mod-cons of an up-to-date camper.

Seats and Carpets

Modern electric leather front seats from a SAAB, brand new carpets just fitted throughout.

Rear seats covered in black vinyl.

Dashboard

Original dash with the addition of a modern stereo all in good condition.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

Aftermarket wooden steering wheel and original manual gear lever.

Mechanics

Classic T2 power with some modern touches to improve the experience.

Engine and Gearbox

VW's legendary 1.6-litre air-cooled four-cylinder, combined with a four-speed manual transmission.

Starts on the button, and runs beautifully with a smooth gearchange.

A brand new full exhaust system has just been fitted.

Suspension and Brakes

The brakes operate perfectly with nice pedal feel.

The suspension is standard at the rear, while at the front air suspension has been added to allow you to raise and lower the van when parking on inclines.

The Drive

The T2 was never a race car, but this van is a solid example, which will get you where you want to go - slowly but surely!

Electrics and Other

The van benefits from LED headlights on the exterior and modern electric throughout inside, having been upgraded as part of its restoration in 2015. It also an external campsite hook-up point for those longer trips away!

History and Paperwork

The van has recently benefitted from a full new exhaust system, new sliding door hinge and new carpets throughout - it has also been machine-polished and professionally cleaned.

History and Paperwork is present.

---------------------------------------------

From Trade Classics:

This is a Market Auction listing, meaning we have not visited and photographed the car - instead the seller has supplied the images and written the description. However we’ve done all our usual seller checks, including photo ID that matches the V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPi that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check.

Viewings are welcomed, so please get in touch with us via the 'contact us' page - we just need to speak to you first on the phone, have you register on the site, and also send in valid photo ID before confirming a suitable time to visit.

Like all our auctions, if there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - the Buyer's Premium is not refundable in any instance, just like a traditional auction house.

    Key Bidding Facts

    What is your reserve policy?

    A reserve is the minimum price that the seller will let the car go for. We work with sellers to set realistic reserves in line with market pricing – we don’t take on vehicles with unrealistic pricing. Reserve met / not met labeling may or may not be announced during the auction – this is just like a traditional auction house, i.e. bidders may only know when they’ve been successful at the end of the auction.

    If the reserve hasn’t been met at the end of the auction then we work with the highest bidder to try to work out a deal with the seller.

    Why shouldn’t I leave bidding to the last minute?

    Auto-Extending Bidding – we’ve developed auto-extending auctions that mimic traditional auction house bidding; it’s a key feature to make sure classic vehicles achieve their true worth. Bids placed in the last one minute automatically extend the auction by two further minutes. So there is no need to leave bidding to the last second.

    Security – we operate higher levels of security, so you may need to enter further authorisations against your stored card after you select ‘Place Bid’. All this takes time and may mean you miss the end of the auction by the time the authorisation passes. To guarantee your bid, we recommend at least five minutes are active on the auction when you place your bid.
