Further info:
Currently enjoying its 70th birthday, the much-loved Volkswagen Type 2 has long since acquired cult status courtesy of such celebrity owners as Jamie Oliver, Martin Clunes, Roger Daltry and Jenson Button. It's been home to generations of travelling Australians, helped hippies survive the ' '60s/'70s and been the transport of choice for many a surfer. The original split screen T1 was launched in 1949 and powered by a 1,131cc engine producing just 24bhp, but a range of units up to 2-litres was available by the late '70s. This smartly-presented Devon four-berth Camper features White over Orange bodywork teamed with Cream upholstery, and has had five owners who've travelled 81,885 miles between them. The interior was retrimmed by the Camper Shak in 2008 at a cost of £3,343, and the vehicle is now offered complete with power steering, electronic ignition and a collection of old invoice and MOTs, plus one valid into February 2020.
