The seller offers for sale a 1972 Volkswagen T2a presented as a classic camper van with a 1.8 liter four-cylinder petrol engine combined with a manual transmission. This vehicle has been in the same ownership for almost three decades, during which many memorable journeys were made. The camper was stored indoors throughout ownership and maintenance was consistently handled by a garage. In 2018, a major revision was carried out and a new engine installed. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly, making this Volkswagen suitable for enjoyable driving. The interior is original and reflects the authentic camper character of the model. Known attention points include rust at the beam underneath the bus, which requires repair, and the paintwork needs to be addressed in some areas.
The current, non documented mileage is 85.000 km and it holds a valid technical inspection.
The cotton pop-up roof is still good and waterproof, but has become somewhat weathered due to weather influences.
The Volkswagen T2a holds a special place in automotive history as one of the most recognizable transporters ever produced. Loved for its simple mechanics, versatile layout, and unmistakable design, the T2 became a symbol of freedom and travel. As a camper, it offers a unique driving experience with a relaxed pace and strong character. Today, the T2a remains popular among enthusiasts who value originality, nostalgia, and the joy of classic road trips.
