Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1973 VW T2 Bay-Window Camper is a presentable example with a pop-top, upgraded 2000cc engine, and recent re-trimming. While it shows some signs of age with welding repairs and a replaced speedo, it benefits from a recent service and brake work, making it a usable classic camper.
Condition
6
The vehicle is described as tidy with some renewed interior, suggesting it's been maintained. However, it has had 10 former keepers, welding repairs, and a speedo issue, indicating some wear and tear and reconditioning work. The recent service and brake work are positives, but the need for welding suggests some corrosion issues have been addressed, so it's between good and very good.

1973 Volkswagen T2 Bay-Window Camper Tidy example from seven year loving home with pop-top and recently re-trimmed rear seat and rock'n'roll bed and upgraded 2,000cc engine and new clutch in 2006 Dating from August 1973 this cool as a cucumber VW Camper is, we think, a Westfalia variant and has been loved and enjoyed by our lady owner for the last six years and is reluctantly for sale due to replacement by a bigger, more modern Camper Van.
Finished in two-tone light green and white the van sits well and features the most useful ‘pop-top’ which when erect, offers considerably more internal (head) space and light.
Some of the interior has been renewed during her tenure including the cushions and rock ‘n roll bed.
The Van started readily and ran well as we moved it around for these shots, indeed, it was driven up to us for the sale from Romsey, Hampshire without a hitch.
The history file includes the V5C revealing 10 former keepers, the current MOT (although exempt) valid until July 2...
