When
Volkswagen launched its Transporter in March 1950, it probably wasn’t aware of
what it had really started.
Firstly, this was the beginning of the
minivan, but secondly, it was the start of a new religion. What was to VW simply
the T2 (the T1 being the Beetle) would become to many a way of life. The
Kombi/Bus/Camper would be hand-painted with flowers, stuck with no-nukes/peace
stickers, stuffed with surf boards/guitars/children and driven all over the
planet.
First
registered in 1972 and showing previously sold by us just over six years ago,
the previous owner undertook a serious restoration around 16 years ago, creating
this eye-catching 1972 Camper.
As
you can see the work has been done to a very high standard and the van, which
was originally green and white, now really stands out from the crowd in its
purple metal-flake finish and stunning campervan interior.
To give it a
bit more poke, the 1,600cc engine (still stated on the current V5C) was
also fully rebuilt with new barrels and pistons to bring it to
1,640cc.
Filled
with all the luxuries you might need including a 3/4 rock n roll bed, leisure
battery and hook-up, fridge, bespoke wine rack and a flip-down DVD/CD player
with remote control and Pioneer amplifiers. It also has leather-trimmed
front seats from a Jaguar XJS.
Has
been starting and driving on site for the pictures and
video.
