This Type 2 benefits from a previous 'ground-upwards' restoration and now features a conversion by specialists Wildwood. The interior is trimmed in burgundy vinyl and features red-piped seats, a body-coloured dashboard, white and wood veneer rear panelling, a rock-and-roll bed, a fold-out table, rear storage cupboards, a modern rear-mounted stereo, Kenwood loudspeakers, rear window curtains, and a textured red vinyl rear floor. The factory specification includes side 'barn-doors', sliding windows, two-spoke steering wheel, under-dashboard shelf, push-out front quarter lights, and basic heating and ventilation controls.
The engine is a 1.5-litre unit and the van rolls on a set of chromed 15" steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, shod with Jupiter Radial A/T tyres. Other notable features include wider offset wheels, a tow bar, and a rear roof rack.
The van comes with comprehensive history, including photographs, correspondence with Volkswagen confirming the build date, and some maintenance invoices. Independent Volkswagen specialists Volkstech of Morecombe carried out works in March 2014 which consisted of reconditioning the dynamo and regulator box, and installing a tow bar and associated wiring. The stainless-steel roof rack and domed hubcaps were fitted in December 2013, and four new tyres were fitted in March 2007.
Boldly finished in an eye-popping shade of red, this Volkswagen Type 2 panel van is a very well presented example of Volkswagen's much loved classic and ideal for attending tours and weekend events. Offered with sundry invoices and a V5C document.
