1974 VOLKSWAGEN MICROBUS

A beautiful custom build 1974 bus that's been meticulously updated and upgraded over time.

I've got so many happy memories both using and caring for her, but as I'm relocating, it's time to pass on this classic camper to a new loving owner.

Works carried out by specialists Type2 Detectives include a recently refurbished 1600cc engine, with only a few thousand miles on the clock since.

Stored under a cover throughout the year.

She benefits from a Historic Taxation class, so is ULEZ exempt.

Although tax and MOT exempt, she's had regular MOTs to keep her in tiptop shape.
