Description
A unique opportunity to own a T2 camper van in an attractive Bamboo Yellow and White exterior finish.
Manufactured in 1977 the vehicle was originally purchased and registered in 1980. Originally converted shortly after manufacture, the vehicle is modified in a Super Viking format providing a 6 berth capacity. With a double bed in the main cabin, the roof 'pops' to unveil a further 4 berth sleeping arrangement whilst also providing comfortable headspace and standing room inside.
Of considerable interest is the preservation of all the original internal features inclusive of fixtures, fittings and decor. This includes a gas grill and hob, extractor, gas powered fridge, and sink with running water. The cooking facilities can be detached and removed from the interior to provide al fresco cooking facilities, whilst creating additional internal space. All soft furnishing including seats, curtains and cushions are also original features in very good condition and appear in an attractive pattern consistent with the period of manufacture.
Mechanically sound and in good working condition, a reconditioned air cooled engine was installed in 2017, whilst a full MOT history is available to attest to the sound running of the vehicle.
The exterior bodywork is experiencing rusting in some areas, primarily around the window frames, and does therefore require some improvement and attention.
A large awning is also included in the sale price. This metal pole frame extension provides a secure additional external living space inclusive of an inner tent providing further sleeping capacity. We have owned this camper van since March 2011 and are just the third owners since manufacture.
Of primary interest is the excellent mechanical condition and working order of the vehicle.
The preservation and good condition of all internal fixtures and fittings also makes this a unique and appealing opportunity to own a classic VW camper van.
Although we feel the original features are a unique aspect of the vehicle, it would also present an excellent opportunity for conversion and modernisation.
