1971 VW T2 'Betty' Danbury conversion For Sale

Betty is a 1971 German built bus with a Danbury conversion & has spent most of her life ‘dry stored’. As a result she is a rare solid example as she approaches her 50th birthday.

She has done a little over 35, 000 with her original 1600 air cooled engine. Whilst purists will shake their heads, she is much easier to drive than a regular VW bus due to having a manually adjustable power steering unit fitted.
Seats could do with a good scrub as well as some of the other vinyl. There is some bubbling to a very small amount of the paintwork. First to second gear can be a little tricky to start with but I have no issues now, just takes a little getting used to. Nothing major wrong at all with Betty but obviously with a vehicle of her age she will be in need of regular upkeep & maintenance.
She has an awning rail too & there is an awning tent under the seats along with mallet, pegs etc. She also comes with a weather proof cover & a bespoke disklok made to fit a larger steering wheel.

I’ve had several busses but none nicer than Betty. Reluctantly, I have let her go as I’ve recently purchased a narrow boat to get even further off the grid!

She will need to be viewed before purchase. More pics available.

Cheers... Al
