Currently enjoying its 73^rd birthday, the much-loved Volkswagen Type 2 has long since acquired cult status courtesy of such celebrity owners as Jamie Oliver, Vernon Kay and Jenson Button. The original 'split-screen' Type 2 was launched in 1949 and powered by a 1,131cc engine producing just 24bhp, but a range of units up to 2-litres was available by the late '70s. The later model Type 2 was referred to as the 'bay window' due to the lack of windscreen split.

Manufactured in 1977, this British Devon Eurovette was based on a new VW commercial van and was a desirable and popular conversion for the Type 2 in the UK. There were different specifications and layouts with this example being a walk-through body, allowing access from the driver's seat direct into the cabin plus the Devon camper accoutrements, including a Fellows gas grill and hob, elevating roof, stow-away table, 'rock and roll' bed/bench seat and cupboards. The base vehicle was a UK market right-hand-drive example, having been first registered on the 1^st of August that year. Fitted with the later 1970cc four-cylinder engine with a four-speed manual gearbox, it is finished in Red with White and pleasingly retains the majority of its original charming period-style plaid cloth interior upholstery and fittings. Cockpit seats are the original Volkswagen basket weave vinyl in Brown.

In the ownership of just three families from new (equating to five keepers), ‘YTU 737S’ has been in current ownership for 10 years and has a recorded mileage of approximately 73,500 miles. Understood to have been Waxoyled from new, ‘YTU 737S’ benefitted from pop-top roof repairs, servicing, and some bodywork restoration in 2013, and subsequent full service in 2016. Most recently serviced in 2022, along with the fitment of a new battery, the Volkswagen is offered with a history file that contains a large collection of MOTs dating back to 1996, original sales literature, a selection of invoices and a current V5C document.
