Utilising a 1600cc twin port engine

Recent re trim of the upholstery

Imported to the UK in 2021 before being registered in 2022

Showing c. 97, 000km on speedometer (60, 273 miles)

Introduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen’s iconic, forward-control Type 2 was nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only facilitated an increase in ride height but also improved handling. The T2’s lengthened wheelbase was welcomed by motor caravan builders, if only because the increased interior space it yielded made conversion and customisation easier. Facelifted in 1972 for the following model year, the Volkswagen gained more visible / higher set indicators and stronger square-profile bumpers that enabled the so-called T2b to meet contemporary US passenger car safety standards (tests from which vans were technically exempt).

Imported from the left-hand drive market of Egypt and brought to the UK in 2021, before being registered here in 2022, this Type 2 shows a recorded mileage of c. 97, 000km on the speedometer (60, 273 miles). It is a ‘people-carrying’ microbus example with factory-fitted side windows with opening quarter-lights for ventilation. The interior has seen the addition of Orange upholstery. The engine bay is dry and tidy and contains a 1600cc twin port ‘B code’ engine, although the heating isn’t connected. The bay window has recently benefitted from four new tyres. It is being offered with a current V5C.
