• T2 Camper Van 'Helsinki'
• Originally delivered in Germany in 1975
• Imported into the UK in 2009
• Subjected to a thorough renovation in 2013

Introduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen’s iconic, forward-control Type 2 which has proven versatile enough to serve as a panel van, minibus, camper van and even fire engine was immediately recognisable due to its adoption of a large single-piece windscreen. Nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only facilitated an increase in ride height but also improved handling. The T2’s lengthened wheelbase was welcomed by motor caravan builders if only because the increased interior space it yielded made conversion and customisation easier. Facelifted in 1972 for the following model year, the Volkswagen gained more visible / higher set indicators and stronger square-profile bumpers that enabled the so-called T2b to meet contemporary US passenger car safety standards (tests from which vans were technically exempt).

The camper van offered here is a Volkswagen T2 Camper Van ‘Helsinki’ which was originally delivered in Germany on the 25^th of May 1975. It was imported into the UK in 2009, since when it’s had only 3 former keepers. According to invoices and photographs on file, the Volkswagen was subjected to a body renovation and repaint in 2013, with attention paid to the interior and mechanical equipment as well. It is currently showing 243,457 kilometres, which are believed genuine and is offered with a History File containing the old German Fahrzeugbrief, a Certificate of Origin from the Volkswagen Museum as well as a current V5C, photographs, DVD and invoices documenting the renovation, old MOT’s dating back to 1999, and sundry invoices.
