Currently enjoying its 71st birthday, the much-loved Volkswagen Type 2 has long since acquired cult status courtesy of such celebrity owners as Jamie Oliver, Martin Clunes, Roger Daltry and Jenson Button. It's been home to generations of travelling Australians, helped hippies survive the ' '60s/'70s and been the transport of choice for many a surfer. The original split screen T1 was launched in 1949 and powered by a 1131cc engine producing just 24bhp, however by the end of the 1970’s there was a range of units up to 2-litre available.
This T2 camper van is currently finished in Blue, however has previously been finished in Orange and White. Fitted with the 1584cc petrol engine and manual gearbox, it is a rare and desirable Crossover edition built in 1971 in right-hand drive and first registered in the UK in December that year. In current ownership since 2016, the Volkswagen is currently in project state, however, is said to be running. ‘WFA 891K’ has received recent engine overhaul and recommissioning costing c.£2000, as well as work to the fuse box in 2019. Offered with a full UK V5C, a full set of steel wheels and full set of alloys, rear engine panel, hub caps, new door cards, interior trim, bumpers, rock ‘n’ roll bed, camping fittings and other parts, the Volkswagen is a worthwhile project for someone to return to the road.
