The Appeal

The Volkswagen Campervan is an iconic symbol of freedom and adventure, cherished by enthusiasts for its timeless design and practicality. Still a common sight amongst free-spirited campers, these austere but beautifully customisable campers are still highly clamoured for.

This impressive van comes complete with a comprehensive history of maintenance records, and was recently assessed by an independent garage in May 2024 - who have noted its superb condition for its age.

The vibrant red exterior creates a bright contrast with the yellow and grey living space, and the van comes complete with its pop-top roof, camping stove, gas bottle and multiple other accessories - put simply, it's a free-spirited van ready and waiting to return to the road with its lucky new owner.
