The seller offers for sale a 1979 Volkswagen T2 bus powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual transmission . This example has been rebuilt and refreshed with new paint, tyres, brakes, carburettor and a new electrical loom. The two-tone blue and white repaint gives the bus a neat classic appearance.

All lights operate as they should.
The Volkswagen T2, introduced in 1967 as the successor to the T1, became one of the world’s most recognisable vans. Known for its versatility, reliability and friendly design, the T2 served as a family transporter, commercial vehicle and travel companion for generations of enthusiasts. Its rear-mounted air-cooled engine offered simple mechanics, making it easy to maintain. The T2’s spacious interior and customisation potential helped it gain strong popularity among travellers, campers and collectors. Today, it is valued not only for its practicality but also for its cultural significance, symbolising freedom, creativity and classic motoring charm. Well-preserved or carefully restored examples continue to attract strong interest across Europe.
