1979 VOLKSWAGEN TYPE 2 BAY WINDOW CAMPER FULLY RESTORED SOLD

Hi and thanks for taking the time to view my VW late bay camper for sale.

It's had a lot of time and money invested in it over the past five years to make this a reliable and eye catching type 2 to be proud of.

4 years ago the front doors, both sills both front inner wings and front bay panel were all replaced, all necessary welding was carried out professionally and the bus was given a full respray in its original VW Sierra yellow, a stunning subtle yellow that looks great in the sun.

In 2015 a further £6000 was spent to make it as useable and reliable as possible to ensure a trouble free trip to the south of France.
A new 2000cc VW heritage engine was supplied and fitted along with all new ancillaries eg clutch, heat exchangers, Alternator, coil, belts, pulleys etc and finished off with brand new twin weber 34 carburettors, the result is in my opinion perfect. Ample power whilst returning great mpg. (I have the full invoice for the engine for anyone wanting to see the extent of what was carried out)

Further improvements include disc brakes for added safety. New Newton commercial leather front seats, they look great and are incredibly comfortable. Smev twin burner stove and sink with cold water tap. Lowered front end with fully adjustable front shocks, empi alloy wheels with brand new tyres. New wooden steering wheel. CD player with aux input. Rock n roll bed with seatbelts. Additional buddy seat.

It's currently mot'd until May 2018 and hasn't received an advisory on an mot since all the mentioned work has been done.

Everything works as it should, a recent 200 mile trip with no issues whatsoever proves its ready to go anywhere with confidence.

As with most type 2 campers, there are small bodywork imperfections but only things that you'd expect from a type 2 that last had paintwork 4 years ago.

In my opinion it's the best of both worlds, a practical camper that's mechanically perfect and very presentable but one you're not afraid to use!

I've had a show winning type 2 in the past and to be completely honest, it was a burden. This is a joy

If you'd like to view, please contact me (Richard) on the details below.

I've priced this very competitively to aid a quick sale, if you're looking for a well sorted type 2 for a reasonable price, look no further
