Having always had a passion for VWs, since buying my Mk3 Golf 6 years ago; visiting many many shows both water cooled and aircooled, the bug bit so to speak. The hunt was then on to find a van. I was looking for an early bay panel van, but cost against condition it was proving hard to find a good one. Then I stumbled across what you see below, excellent condition, very low mileage and very rare with 97 being produced and I am only aware of one other in the UK. And I still want a panel van, so I can tinker and do my own conversion, something that I cant do with my current van. I am just hoping to strike it lucky on the lottery now, lol.

Let me know what you think!

Hi ya
My family too are into VW Air cooled,and we go to many of the shows so i'm sure you know it has a masive following.It looks like you have a great start for a camper as it looks well fitted out already.condition looks great too.I would leave the outside as it is as it will be a great talking point.I'm sure you will have loads of fun with this van.
Cheers Lazza Laughing

Very nice. I have seen a few of these about, but this is the best (from what I can see) is the best about.

One peice of advise, Do tinker with it, Keep it original.

One helluva mistake to tinker with that too much I reckon. Worth much more for future 'as is' I bet. And isn't it in lovely nick?

Looks nice and it's novel. Will get you loads of friends maybe Germans, but they need them!

We stepped from our 73 T2 bay to our 98 T4 Caravelle in one move a year and a bit ago and love it. I found I had not enough knowledge to keep up with the persistent tinkering and rust on the old T2 so she went to a good local home.

We nearly bought an ex-navy landrover that was used for a similar purpose. Just couldn't get used to the idea of the nuclear bit. Had visions of naval exercises, and some of the samples the vehicle was supposed to be used for testing being lost in the vehicle somewhere.

Bit irrational but there you go. It was also too pricey.
