The Appeal

The T2 Camper is beyond iconic. In fact, it's really ascended far beyond simply a van and more into an icon of the free-spirited lifestyle. Whether it be on the beach by an open fire or parked up comfortably in a field with an awning, you've probably seen a Type 2 at your local holiday spot, living a life of leisure. 
This particular Type 2 - with the early, desirable bay windows - comes to us following a period of storage. With a reupholstered tan leather interior, new storage cupboards, and a full-sized rock and roller bed - all of which have been little used since 2020 - this fine example of Volkswagen's most famous van offers both comfort and practicality for your next big adventure.
