£TBC SOLD

The first bus we have had a chance to finish and advertise for months. All of our stock included several buses that hadn’t been advertised yet have all sold!

Absolutely superb in every department from start to finish. This bus has been owned locally to us for the majority of its life in South East Kent. Having recently undergone a full strip down restoration. The bus was stripped right back to expose any areas of rust indicative of the age of the vehicle. All necessary panels have been professionally replaced before the bus was carefully primed and repainted in Pastel White inside and out.  The finish of the bus is excellent and the entire shell has been painted throughout including all of the inside and engine bay. This is always the hallmark of a thorough and professional restoration that has been carried out in detail. It is very rare to find a T2 Bay Window that has had a restoration carried out in this thorough detail.

Reconditioned 1600TP engine running on dual carburettors. Superb power delivery and good gear selection. Mechanically checked over and comes with 12 months MOT even though no longer required by law for added peace of mind. Porsche ‘Fuch’ style polished stainless wheels. Custom Walnut rimmed steering wheel with polished stainless spokes.

Bus comes with its original ‘Birth Certificate’ of provenance from the Stiftung Auto museum confirming from its VIN number the vehicles full authenticity from new as a factory Right Hand Drive vehicle built in April 1973. Overall one of the best buses you are ever likely to find if you are looking for a classic VW Camper and viewing is highly encouraged.
