The Appeal

The Volkswagen T2, also known as the VW Bus or Camper, was a revolution in automotive design, turning the idea of a simple mode of transportation into a mobile home.

This particular T2 Westfalia, imported from California in 2015, has been on adventures to France, Spain, Scotland, Devon, Cornwall and more. It has been restored inside and out since its import, promising a classic camper experience with a touch of modern comfort, making this vehicle a perfect choice for the nostalgia-seeker or the adventure-lover.
