1975 Volkswagen Type 2 'Bay Window' Camper Conversion

Highlights

  • Comprehensive restoration completed in 2015
  • 'Super Viking'-style extra-large elevating roof
  • Equipped with air suspension on the front axle
  • Modern electrically adjustable leather front seats from a SAAB
  • Recently fitted brand new full exhaust system

The Appeal

One of the most wonderful things about the air-cooled Volkswagen community is that its members embrace customisation. Attend a meet with 100 Beetles or Type 2s, and you'll seldom find two vehicles alike.

This 1975 camper is certainly unique. The first thing we notice is the extra-large elevating roof which appears to one of those produced by converter Viking in period - or certainly of a similar design/style. This allows for very versatile sleeping arrangements - perfect for those family trips away.

having undergone comprehensive restoration in 2015, this van looks very smart and you can't help but clock the vibrant colour scheme - perfect for Halloween which is just around the corner!

The addition of air suspension on the front axle and modern electric front seats from a SAAB ensures a great stance and comfortable driving experience. The modern camper interior is highly usable and we're assured that the van drives very well indeed.

Now's a great time to get your hands on your dream Type 2 and prepare for next year's season.
