What makes this van very special is that we had it professionally resto-modded.
It has had a professional Subaru 2. 0 petrol engine conversion by the highly regarded Fellows Speed Shop in the UK. This has made the vehicle reliable, fun and safe in all road conditions. The normally aspirated Subaru EJ20 conversion is an absolute joy. The van keeps up with all modern traffic with ease. The work was commissioned in 2021 and included an updated freeway flyer gearbox and a superb Porsche/ Willwood front disc conversion. We have completed 8 two week holidays and many weekends away in 4 years and have enjoyed superb reliability and performance.
All brakes are new front and back including all pipes and master cylinder. The steering box has been fully refurbished.
The sale includes the original restored engine, gearbox and front breaks should any future owner wish to put it back to original. Nothing was damaged in the conversion so this would be a straightforward job. The van has just completed our latest adventures in Cornwall UK and is ready to go for its next owner.
The next owner has nothing to do but drive and enjoy this incredible example . We bought this T2 for proper camping use, not as a show queen. This despite in being the best example available in Europe at the time.
The van was imported from California in the mid 90’s hence the incredible condition and restored by the previous owner who is an acknowledged expert and collector some 6 years ago. We bought it in 2020 and put the icing on the cake with the professional resto mod work.
The van garners never ending looks and questions and drives incredibly well.
Our van will be supplied with V5 ( us being the second UK owners), VW heritage certificate from Germany, copy of the original California registration, full VW inflatable awning, sun canopy , windscreen cover and original tools. The original child’s hammock which fits over the front seats is included and works very well. We even have the original owners handbook. All paperwork and service history provided too.
