SUMMARY
You often see type 2 restorations being sold with large tickets, but on close scrutiny they often do not stand up to expectations, well not in this case, I have been all over this wonderful masterpiece of a bus and can honestly say that I have never in my life as a classic car dealer seen anything that even comes close, the finish is just sublime and is a testament to all those that took part in creating this masterpiece, this is an extremely well thought out build to make it the best it can possibly be, to create a bus with this specification at today’s prices would cost in excess of £60, 000.
Since this masterpiece was created she has covered less than 2, 000 miles in 5 years, she has been in Volksworld magazine in which she was taken for a days photo shoot in Cambridge.
She has won best in class at VW shows, and always been kept in an air conditioned garage all year round, she has never been used in the rain or in winter time.
