Lite-Steer power-steering professionally fitted by Lite-Steer (amazing, amazing upgrade).

Automatic gearbox makes it a pleasure to dive

Twin Dellorto Carbs for better performance

Fully restored throughout

Stunning two-tone turquoise and white paintwork

The Mechanics

 Brand new VW Engine Company Engine only 80 miles
 Reconditioned auto box and torque converter
 Upgraded carburettors
 Can be slow to start from cold as the upgraded carburettors don’t have a choke
 Mechanically very good throughout
 Engine and engine bay present very well
 Underside is clean and very good condition

Due to brand-new engine, you must not drive at more than 50mph for another 400 miles. The VW Engine Company will do a full service on the engine at this time for just £85. Honestly, 50mph is a lovely speed to drive at anyway. No one drives a classic car in a rush :)

Mechanically, this T2 Late Bay Camper is in excellent condition. The engine has been fully replaced by the famous VW Engine Company with no expense spared.

The upgraded carburettors enhance the camper's responsiveness and allow it to go up hills unlike some other T2's!

Automatic gearbox and power-steering make this vehicle so much easier to drive than other T2's.
