INFORMATION
Presented in a striking period-correct lime green over a cream roof, this 1976 Volkswagen Type 2 is an exceptionally characterful example of the iconic Bay Window camper. Restored with a clear respect for originality, it balances nostalgic charm with genuine usability.
Externally, the bodywork presents well, with straight panels and a vibrant finish that suits the era perfectly. The signature two-tone palette, chrome detailing, and upright stance remain instantly recognisable, capturing the enduring appeal of Volkswagen’s most celebrated utility vehicle.
Inside, the cabin has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully trimmed. Warm tan upholstery complements the wood-effect cabinetry, creating a space that feels both authentic and inviting. The classic Westfalia layout is retained, offering a rear seating area that converts for rest, alongside a neatly integrated table and storage. Above, the elevating roof provides additional space and flexibility, making the vehicle equally suited to weekend travel or longer touring.
From the driver’s seat, visibility is expansive, framed by the large, panoramic windscreen. The simple dashboard and upright wheel reinforce the mechanical honesty of the Type 2, delivering an experience that is as engaging as it is distinctive.
Mechanically, the vehicle remains true to its roots, offering the unhurried, characterful drive expected of a classic air-cooled Volkswagen. It is a vehicle to be enjoyed, not rushed, rewarding its driver with a sense of occasion on every journey.
