Motorhomepig is incredibly proud to offer this 1968 Volkswagen T2 Early Bay. As a 1968 model, this vehicle is from the highly desirable first year of "Bay Window" production, featuring the distinctive low-mounted indicators and "wrap-around" bumpers that collectors adore. Combining vintage charm with practical upgrades, this T2 has been kept in road-ready condition with a brand-new cab battery and excellent tyres. Whether you are a seasoned air-cooled enthusiast or looking for a stylish weekend cruiser, this "Early Bay" is a characterful piece of motoring history.

The "Classic Camper" Layout:

• Bench-to-Bed Versatility: The interior features a custom bench bed build (Rock 'n' Roll style). By day, it provides a comfortable lounge and dining area; by night, it easily converts into a cozy double bed for two.

• 4 Legal Travelling Seatbelts: A fantastic feature for a classic of this age, equipped with four seatbelts to allow friends or family to join the journey safely.

• Period Charm: The interior retains the classic VW feel, optimized for simplicity and the quintessential "van life" experience.

• Compact & Iconic: Its small footprint makes it a joy to drive on coastal roads and easy to store in a standard garage.

Mechanical Heritage & Maintenance:

• Air-Cooled 1.6L Petrol Engine: The heart of the van is the classic 1.6L twin-port engine, known for its iconic sound and mechanical simplicity.

• Freshly Serviced: To ensure it’s ready for the 2026 season, this T2 received a Full Service in November 2025.

• Reliability Upgrades: It benefits from a brand-new cab battery and features tyres in excellent condition, ensuring a solid contact with the road.

Transparent Condition & Notes:

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

• Authentic Condition: As an honest 1968 classic, the vehicle has benefited from the "usual repairs and touch-ups" over the years to maintain its structure and appearance.

• Electrical Integrity: Undergone a professional electrical safety check in 2024, providing peace of mind regarding the onboard systems.

• Pristine Environment: This has been a non-smoker vehicle with no pets travelled, preserving the freshness of the interior.

Broker's Note:

The 1968 Early Bay is the "sweet spot" for many VW fans—you get the improved drivability over the earlier Split-Screen, but all the vintage "low-light" styling that was lost in later years. Finding a Right-Hand Drive (RHD) example with 4 seatbelts and a fresh service is a great opportunity. It’s an evocative, head-turning camper that is ready to be driven to its next vintage festival or seaside escape.

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