Highlights

Entirely new interior, professionally fitted with inlets and numerous camping comforts
An impressive level of mechanical work including a like-for-like engine replacement, scat shift kit and more, with invoices provided
The Appeal
The VW camper doesn’t really need an introduction. Even to the layman or casual bystander, these buses are a bona fide icon of automobile history, rattling through films, festivals, summers in the fields and are an exemplar of bohemian comforts. Picked out in a beautiful purple and white livery, this T2 has had a storied history and now combines the external lineage of the legendary vehicle with modern home comforts for the 21st-century camper.
There’s no doubting the external image of this stunning bus, but it really comes into its own as you examine just how much it’s been modified over its lifetime. A grill, hob, fridge and more are all perfectly integrated into the vehicle’s compact internals, maintaining its heritage appearance with incredible effect. The new engine, a host of aftermarket parts and more act together to make this a high-quality investment for the lucky new owner. DSC04344.jpg1.19 MB

The T2 Westfalia camper was legendary enough despite its often rather bohemian interior. This one’s impressive refurbishment, restoration and mechanical work have ascended it beyond what’s usually expected of the vehicle. We’ve seen plenty of T2s at Car and Classic, but rarely will an example come along with so many changes focused on comfort and practicality.
While still maintaining all of that quirky, counter-cultural character, this VW bus has been upgraded into something ideal for all types of enthusiast. Whether its future with you is as a family camping spot, acting as a quirky daily driver, or trailing out to a festival solo, this storied camper is ready for its next adventure.
