Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
The unmissable VW Campervan - an unmistakeable expression of freedom.
The T2 was introduced to the world in '67 with an improved 1.6L engine, as well as upgraded to run on 12V. The Type 2 lost its distinctive split front windscreen, however it gained a bay window and became famous in its own right. The Type 2 remained in production in Brazil until December 2013, latterly with a water-cooled VW Polo engine.
This particular T2 was carefully selected by Steve to enjoy and complete as a project during lockdown. Over that time he has worked on 'Sheldon', with it now ready to be used and enjoyed for the upcoming summer.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Jacob after liaising with Steve the owner.

Hi Keith,
No problem, as I say the worst bit is on the front of the passenger door side, and on the external guttering, I’ve just reviewed the close up video and you can see all of the affected areas on that quiet clearly. If you have any other questions please let me know.
Hi Steve
Many thanks for the prompt reply , I will try and zoom in on the photos , regards Keith .
Hi Keith,
The main areas that have some rust are on the front edge of the passenger door, and some bits of the external guttering, if you watch the close up walk around video I have tried to show these on that, I believe the images on the site let you zoom in, but I’m happy to provide closer pics for you, I’m not able to attach them here I guess I would need to send these to you directly? (I will get in touch with the trade classics team now and check how I can do this and I will get back to you)
In terms of the fridge no there is not one, all the wiring and switches should be in place as this was specified when I had the power system fitted, but I haven’t had a fridge installed (we have always managed with a plug in cool box)

Hi Steve
Like the look of your van , as we can’t view at the moment due to lockdown a couple of questions.
Do you have any photos of rust areas mentioned in description , are they surface spots or more deeper and notice there are electrics for a fridge in photos but no mention in description is there one? Cheers Keith.
Hi Keith if you email me with your email address I can send you a couple of close up images if that helps. steven.george.homer@gmail.com
Kind regards
Steve
Hi Chris.
As he’s never been lowered, and has the high top with the top air vent, from the ground to highest point he sits at just a fraction under 8.5 foot.
This does give the great advantage of standing room in the cabin but it does make him rather tall.
Steve.
Hello Steve,
Thank you for that dimension. Unfortunately my garage door frame height is 2.3m (7.5 foot), and we’d want to dry store him in the garage.
Good luck with the sale. Someone will be very lucky!

Hello Steve,
I’m interested in your lovely camper van, but fear it might be too tall for my garage. Can you tell me the height of the camper van from ground to highest point?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi, I love your van!! If I won it in the auction would you keep hold of it until after lockdown as I’m in Aberdeen and can’t get down! This would be my only problem!
Hi, I’m really happy to hear you like Sheldon, I’m sad to be parting with him and hope he finds some one that will enjoy owning him.
In terms of me keeping hold until after the lockdown has ended, I have no issues with this as long as the sale follows the T’S & C’s that are set out, for the payment to be made within the prescribed time scales and to at least arrange/plan for collection.
But given the circumstances effecting us all provided this was done I would be very happy to look after him here until the restrictions are lifted.
Steve.
Thanks Steve,
Appreciate the reply!! Sheldon would be very very much looked after and loved if he came to us! Thank you ?
Hi could you confirm if this is a panel van conversion rather than a microbus
Hi Sharpey. From all the information that I have the bus was originally registered as a ‘light delivery van’ and then later converted by Devon to the camper van configuration. I’m afraid this is as much I know, I hope that helps with your question. Steve
