1972 Volkswagen Type 2 'Bay Window' Microbus Dormobile

Highlights

  • 1.9-litre Peugeot D8A turbodiesel with bespoke stainless steel exhaust system
  • Recently resprayed in blue to a good standard
  • Dormobile elevating roof
  • Camping interior with rock 'n' roll bed and gas stove
  • Dry stored throughout present ownership and never taken out in the rain

The Appeal

Let's face it, our beloved Type 2 vans aren't getting any younger. In the age of 'Smart Motorways' and fast-moving traffic, these aged camper vans need all the help they can get.

That's where this one comes up trumps...

Upgraded with a 1.9-litre Peugeot turbodiesel engine that will undoubtedly go on and on, this camper-converted 'Bay Window' Microbus is among the most usable on the market today. Moreover, it boasts a Dormobile elevating roof, new interior and repainted bodywork.

The vendor garage-stores the van, and they tell us it's never taken out in inclement weather. It comes with a wealth of paperwork spanning many years, including previous MOT certificates and servicing invoices. It's now tax/MOT-exempt and classed as a 'Historic Vehicle' by the DVLA.
