Motorhomepig are delighted to offer this iconic 1978 VW T2 Bay Window as a broker, available to view in Great Ayton, North Yorkshire. This RHD classic is a true head-turner, blending the nostalgia of 1970s "bus" life with the mechanical reliability of a refurbished VW engine installed just months ago. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or a first-time classic owner, this T2 represents the quintessential British summer on wheels.

Key Features & Internal Details:

• Classic 4-Berth Setup: Equipped with 4 travelling seatbelts, making it safe for family outings. The sleeping arrangement features a classic Rock n Roll double bed on the lower level and two original hammocks in the pop-top roof—perfect for children and a rare original feature.

• Refurbished Engine (July 2024): The heart of this bus was replaced with a refurbished VW unit less than 1,000 miles ago. This provides significantly better reliability and performance than a high-mileage original unit.

• Devon Heritage: Originally a Devon conversion, the interior was updated a few years after production with custom cabinetry, offering a clean and functional living space while maintaining that retro charm.

• Lowered Suspension: The bus has been tastefully lowered, giving it a sharper, more modern stance on the road without sacrificing its classic silhouette.

Maintenance & Classic Benefits:

• Tax & MOT Exempt: As a historic vehicle over 40 years old, this T2 is currently MOT and road tax exempt, though it was last professionally serviced just last year to ensure everything remains in top order.

• Drive: 4-speed manual gearbox with the authentic air-cooled sound that only a vintage Volkswagen can provide.

Practical Extras:

• Pop-Top Roof: Provides essential standing height for cooking and dressing, plus the additional hammock berths.

• Keys: Supplied with 2 sets of keys.

• Body Style: RHD "Late Bay" with the improved ventilation and stronger bumpers characteristic of the final years of German production.

History & Location:

• Finance: Confirmed HPI clear with no outstanding finance.

This T2 is a fantastic example of a "useable classic." The combination of the refurbished engine and the upgraded interior makes it a reliable companion for coastal trips and festivals alike.
