Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
A 1973 Volkswagen T2 Camper Van, imported from Australia and owned for 10+ years, featuring a 2.0-litre Type 4 engine and pop-top. The vehicle has a comprehensive service history from a VW specialist and a current MOT until July 2027, highlighting its usability and well-maintained status.
Condition

The vehicle is described as having good overall bodywork and being solid underneath, with the vendor reporting it has been kept garaged. However, the extensive maintenance records indicate a considerable program of works over the years, including welding, which suggests it is not in pristine or outstanding condition, but rather very good and usable. The MOT is valid until July 2027.
