1977 VOLKSWAGEN DELIVERY VAN

Pavilion Gardens | Buxton, Derbyshire 11000 - 13000 Registration No: SOP 834S Chassis No: 2172150531 MOT: Exempt � In current ownership for 25 years where it has been garaged when not in use � Benefitting from a 'John Gurney' engine and clutch rebuild in 2015 Subject of a full body restoration in 2010 with attention to floors, sills & outriggersReady for making the most out of the twilight summer months Introduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen�s much-loved, forward-control Type 2 was immediately recognisable by its single-piece windscreen. Nicknamed the �Bay Window�, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which facilitated an increase in ride height and improved handling. Facelifted in 1972, the Volkswagen gained more visible and higher-set indicators and stronger square-profile bumpers that enabled the so-called T2b to meet contemporary American passenger car safety standards (tests from which vans were technically exempt). In current ownership for 25 years where it has been garaged when not in use this Type 2 was subject to a full body restoration in 2010 with attention to floors, sills & outriggers. It also benefits from an engine and clutch overhaul in 2015 by legendary VW engine builder John Gurney and is said to �pull like a train� and has seen little use since. Sitting on reproduction Porsche �gas burner� wheels and fitted with a tow bar, there is also wiring in place for a leisure battery although a new one will be needed prior to a new owner making the most out of the twilight summer months. With numerous tired examples on the market SOP 834S is a welcome change.
