The seller offers for sale this 1974 Volkswagen T1 Camper, powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine, paired with a manual transmission. Finished in a classic two-tone yellow and cream and has recently benefited from a new interior, with fresh upholstery and wood-effect camper cabinetry including bench seating, a table and storage. The engine has recently been serviced, and new brakes and new headlights have been fitted.

First introduced in 1950, the Volkswagen Type 2, universally known today as the T1 or “splitscreen” for its distinctive two-piece front windscreen, took the mechanical foundations of the Beetle and reimagined them as a spacious, cab-forward van. Immediately popular with businesses and, before long, with camping and outdoor enthusiasts, the T1 became one of the defining vehicles of post-war motoring, and camper conversions like this one turned the humble van into a genuinely usable home away from home, a role it continues to fill for owners today.

With its air-cooled engine mounted low at the rear and simple, robust mechanicals, the T1 was built for easy, dependable use, and fitted-out cabin of this camper conversion add genuine day-to-day usability to that foundation. The split windscreen, round headlamps and two-tone paintwork remain instantly recognisable and continue to make the T1 one of the most sought-after classics for road trips, camping and shows alike. For a buyer looking for a freshly refurbished, ready-to-use classic camper, this T1 is well worth a closer look.
