The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
2004 VW T2C Camper
***NO RESERVE*** Fully equipped high specification camper, including an Alpine media system with Apple CarPlay
Registration - WX54 MFF
Chassis No. - PBWGB07X64P000938
M.O.T. - July 2025
Odometer - 111,576km
No, your eyes do not deceive you, this beautifully presented example of Volkswagen’s T2 bay-window camper van is genuinely from 2004, having been built in Brazil and imported to the UK. ‘WX54 MFF’ is offered in gorgeous and period-inspired white over sage green paintwork, and powered by an air-cooled 1.6-litre four-cylinder with four-speed manual gearbox. Inside, the interior is beautifully appointed, and includes part-leather with tartan upholstery for the seats, leather door cards, green carpeted cabin with walnut & tulip wood floor and matching table, and full camper kit including sink and gas burner. An Alpine media system has been installed, which includes bluetooth and Apple CarPlay connectivity, with Pioneer stereo. Exterior equipment includes the front-mounted spare wheel, Porsche-style Fuchs alloys, chrome trim, elevating roof, and mains hook-up.
Having been well cared for, including undersealing, this example of VW’s famous van was converted to the high-quality Danbury camper once imported. It comes complete with a large service history and file of bills for work carried out, and it will be put through a new MOT prior to sale. The odometer displays an indicated 111,649 km (around 69,000 miles), and is described by the vendor as being ‘good’ condition throughout; covering the engine, transmission, bodywork, paintwork, and interior. Only the electrics are not included in that description, instead reckoned ‘excellent’ by the seller, the seventh keeper in almost 20 years.
- Late and Brazilian-built example of VW’s famous T2 van
- Highly-equipped inside and out
- One of the last air-cooled models
Volkswagen’s ‘difficult second album’, the T2 had to follow in the hugely-popular footsteps of the Type 2 ‘Samba Bus’… but it more than passed muster. In 1967, the T2 ‘Bay Window’ replaced the Type 2 ‘Split Screen’ and came with significant changes to the suspension, windows, and engine mounting – in all, just about every panel and mechanical part was new for the T2. Regularly improved throughout its life, VW added developments such as disk brakes, an optional larger capacity engine, and styling changes, with the main design tweaks carried out in 1972. The following year, further design and mechanical changes were added to the T2, which included a 1.8-litre engine and further uprated brakes, before a 2.0-litre boxer was added to the range a year before the T2 halted production in Europe and the US in 1979. However, manufacturing continued in South America until much later, with the model built in Argentina between 1980 and 1986, and for a much longer run between 1976 and 2013 in Brazil.
