Condition: Iconic Air-Cooled Classic – 2024 Engine Rebuild – Professionally Reupholstered

Motorhomepig is incredibly proud to offer this 1974 Volkswagen T2 Camper. Known affectionately as the "Late Bay," the 1974 model is a favorite among enthusiasts for its improved gear linkage and upgraded switches, making it one of the most driveable iterations of the classic air-cooled era. This right-hand drive (RHD) example is a true survivor, benefiting from a complete engine rebuild in 2024. Whether you are a classic VW collector or a first-time bus owner, this T2 offers the quintessential 1970s surf-style experience with the peace of mind that comes from recent mechanical and interior restoration.

The Classic T2 Camper Layout:

• The Social Rear Lounge: Features a classic rear seating arrangement that makes the most of the compact interior, providing a cozy space for dining or relaxing with the sliding door wide open.

• Rock 'n' Roll Bed: The iconic rear bench effortlessly folds flat into a 2-berth double bed, offering that authentic campervan sleeping experience.

• Refreshed Interior: This bus has been beautifully reupholstered, bringing a fresh, clean feel to the cabin while maintaining its period-correct charm.

• 2 Legal Travelling Seatbelts: Configured for a classic duo, perfect for couples' retreats or solo adventures to the coast.

Mechanical Restoration & 2026 Readiness:

• 2024 Engine Rebuild: The heart of this VW was professionally rebuilt in 2024. This "reset" of the most critical component ensures the bus is mechanically strong and ready for the modern road.

• Serviced & Prepared: In addition to the rebuild, the vehicle has received a full service within the last 12 months, ensuring it is running sweet for the season ahead.

• Authentic Driving Experience: The 4-speed manual gearbox and air-cooled petrol engine provide a tactile, engaging drive that simply cannot be replicated by modern vehicles.

• Security: Supplied with 2 sets of keys (plus additional spares), offering a high level of redundancy for a classic vehicle.

Features & Modern Touches:

• Upgraded Audio: While the aesthetics remain classic, the sound system has been updated with a new stereo, allowing you to soundtrack your journeys with modern connectivity.

• Period Details: The 1974 model features the high-mounted front indicators and squared-off bumpers that define the "Late Bay" look.

• Low-Mileage Appearance: The odometer shows just 16,500 miles; while classic in age, the recent engine work and interior refresh make this feel like a much younger machine.

Transparent Condition & Notes:

At Motorhomepig, we pride ourselves on absolute transparency so buyers can view with complete confidence:

• Licence Profile: Plated well under 3,500kg, this classic can be driven by anyone on a standard Category B (car) driving licence.

Please note: The MOT history for this vehicle contains a clerical error from 2023, where a decimal point was misread at the testing station (recording 15,344.7 miles as 153,447). This administrative error has been carried forward on subsequent MOT certificates to remain consistent with the database. The true mileage is approximately 16,872 miles, which is fully verified by the vehicle’s immaculate condition, comprehensive service records, and its logical usage history.

Walk-around videos are available upon request. Motorhomepig are proud to offer this vehicle as a broker, available to view in Blackpool, Lancashire.
