This elegant 1970 Volkswagen T2 Camper spent its earlier life in Brazil. This left-hand-drive machine is a rare, 15-window Deluxe splitscreen example, which was not available in Europe. Sometime after its arrival in the UK, the T2 was converted to a camper by Volkswagen camper specialists DC Custom Campers. The vendor has owned ‘TTU 433H’ since 2019 and says it has been carefully used as a wedding vehicle. It is smartly finished in pale blue and white, with a matching blue and white vinyl interior. The interior perfectly balances clean, sophisticated modernity with retro cool. ‘TTU 433H‘ boasts a Smeg single burner hob, sink, 3 Way fridge, ¾ bed, six internal spotlights and a Propex gas heater. There’s also a DVD and TV unit, plus a retro-styled radio complete with Bluetooth connectivity. The vendor describes the 2.0-litre engine as ‘excellent’ and the four-speed manual gearbox as ‘good'. The camper was most recently serviced in June 2023 by IRVS Restos in Barrow-in Furness, described by the vendor as “probably the best VW restorer in the country”. It comes complete with an MOT to 19 July 2024, the V5 and a comprehensive history that includes recent service stamps plus original Brazilian service stamps from its early life.
The Volkswagen Type 2 was introduced way back in 1950. It was an original forward control cargo and passenger van, which was carefully honed over the years – it remained in production until 1975. There were multiple commercial variants, plus the iconic camper models like this vehicle. An entire community has built up around the Volkswagen Type 2 and its related models, and the scene today is thriving – meaning buying one is a passport into a fun world of enthusiastic motoring.
In summary:
· Carefully-used former wedding car
· A rare 15-window Deluxe splitscreen example, converted to a camper by DC Custom Campers
· Modern features include spotlights, DVD TV unit and retro radio with Bluetooth
