The seller offers for sale this 1974 Volkswagen Transporter T2, powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Finished in its original orange paintwork, this Bay Window-generation Transporter is fitted with an elevating pop-top roof and a rear camper conversion, including a folding bed, making it ready for weekend trips as much as everyday use. The bodywork and interior show the wear one would expect of a well-used camper of this age, with some areas of the paintwork and cabin trim in need of attention, while the mechanical side of the car remains generally sound. As a project with straightforward, well-understood mechanicals, it offers a solid base for an owner looking to bring a classic air-cooled camper back to its best.
Introduced in 1967 as the second generation of Volkswagen’s Transporter line, the so-called Bay Window bus took its nickname from its single-piece curved windscreen, replacing the split-screen design of the original T1. Riding on the same rugged, rear-engined, air-cooled platform that had made the Transporter a favourite of camper conversion specialists throughout the 1960s and 70s, the T2 combined practicality with genuine character, and pop-top camper versions like this one remain among the most sought-after variants today. Simple to maintain, spacious inside and instantly recognisable, the Bay Window Transporter has become a mainstay of the classic camper scene, prized by enthusiasts for the easy-going, sociable style of motoring it represents.
