What more can I tell you.
I bought the T2 2 years ago.
When I was approx. 9yrs old my motor mechanic father bought a T2 back in the late 70’s. The trips we had especially around Europe were amazing and the memories are still with me. 2 years after the trip I lost my father very suddenly.
I decided that building great memories is something very important and I looked for 3½  years to find a VW T2 that I could own and embark on the same journey with my two munchkins.
However, with Covid in 2020 our plans could not go ahead. This year the outcome does not look great for venturing into Europe.

The T2 was stored for approx. 23 years by the previous owner who really did not do many miles in her as he also had an RV. He was more interested in perfecting the bus. You will see that he replaced literally everything, though I have to admit that a few things I did not like. Like the see through blue dizzy cap. Blue leads etc. BUT overall, he did a fantastic job with the bus, especially the engine.
He also fitted a stainless steel exhaust. You will see his enthusiasm in the detail such as painting the firewall (on pics you can see this in green hammerite), where he has painted service areas in red ie the sump cover where you would service the oil, etc. He used many new zone panels in the engine as he gave me the old ones.
I travelled 550 miles to view something I had been hunting for just over 3½  years. Had seen so many T2s but non as well kept and original as this one.
I have done so much more to this bus but I did not want to stray too far from originality.

The T2 is genuine and also mileage is correct, albeit, original engine had a total rebuild. She drives and handles exceptionally. Really strong pull from engine and gearbox is faultless.
All body seams are perfect. If I was going to grumble I would say the door seal rubber trim could be replaced. They are not gone or deteriorated, they were glued into place and I think replacing them would tidy this up. But again, I am being picky.
The camper is ready to use immediately. If new owner wishes to use straight away I cannot call out anything that would need doing. She also has 2 gas cylinders (one is totally full).
Oh – I am wrong. There is one thing. Since I removed the huge water tank that was under the front cabin you would need a water container. Depending on capacity these are very cheap to source.  

Heater. All work properly and hot airflow is great.
Window mechanism (Front) perfect working order.  
Radio Cassette player – 100% original and working.
Dash lights – all working and where possible I have replaced with LED equivalent.

Of course there is always something that needs to be done but nothing major at all.

Loads of invoices and history

Have so many receipts and so many pictures so show the work carried out.
I have not scrimped at all with this bus. She was kept for many years in the best condition possible and I have to admit – “hats off to the previous owner”.
I do hope you can see that I was really particular what I wanted, hence, I spent 3.5 years looking for the literally the perfect bus.
She was some miles away but for the perfect bus you have to travel. I have been all over the UK in those 3.5 years. Some great buses out there but I learnt where and what to look for, whats is good and bad, what is cosmetic and what is a cover up. I have a good “motor head” on my shoulders so was not a novice.
