Description
Description
Devised as an evolution of the Beetle - Volkswagen's 'Type 1'- the Volkswagen Type 2 was introduced in 1950 and produced until 1967. This 13-window example was purchased from model specialists Type 2 Detectives three years ago and has since been thoroughly enjoyed by our vendors. The delightful Baby Blue paintwork is clean overall, with some orange peel effect in some areas and a few small stone chips, but our vendor assures us that no rust is present, as rust-preventative coatings have been applied. The 1600cc twin-port, AD-code engine has been regularly serviced and runs well. The Microbus's last MoT was in April 2024, and the bus has been in storage since, hence the lack of a more recent MoT test certificate. Upgrades to the Microbus include front disc brakes and a dual master cylinder system with a remote servo unit for enhanced braking efficiency. Our vendor advises us that all electrics have been upgraded. The engine has recently had a new carburettor and fuel pump fitted. The suspension has been lowered by three inches, and incorporates a fully adjustable front axle, as well as adjustable rear spring plates for easy height adjustment.
Inside the Microbus, you'll find a beautiful cabinet custom-made by Vanwurks - and installed fewer than three years ago by Type 2 Detectives - the rear cargo area includes a new 12V fridge and flush-mounted modern sink and hob with a glass top. New leisure battery to run the auxiliary appliances such as a heater. The leisure battery is paired with a split charge relay system to retain start battery charge voltage with the engine off, and a new, thermostatically controlled auxiliary Propex heater has been fitted. Other features include a full-width rock 'n' roll bed with seatbelts for three individuals. Two rear seatbelts are three-point inertia seatbelts. At the rear there is an overhead locker for additional storage. In summary, this is a charming example of Volkswagen's classic Microbus, in a delightful specification, and ready for its next owner to enjoy. Consigned by Charlie McCreery
