The Attractions

The Alfa Romeo A12 and F12 series vans, produced from 1967 to 1983, are iconic vehicles that replaced the last version of the famous Romeo van. They were larger and often equipped with a Perkins diesel engine, and there is no denying that they were still decidedly more handsome and unmistakably styled than most of their European competitors.

Often used by businesses or converted into ambulances, these vans were also available in a 'naked' version for outfitters, some of whom converted them into campers. Today, these outfittings are extremely rare - and, consequently, highly sought-after. This vehicle is distinguished by its original engine, black number plates and the rare metal grille, which was removed in the 1977 restyling.

With its charming interior so typical of the 1970s and bodywork and paintwork that have recently undergone a thorough inspection, we are convinced that this Italian camper van will be a fun companion for family trips - or a rare and original addition to any collection.
